snow showers
Brief wintry precipitation
Snow showers are brief, intermittent periods of snowfall, typically light to moderate and often ending as quickly as they begin.
Unlike steady snow, showers come and go, sometimes with sunshine between bursts: The forecast calls for scattered snow showers this afternoon.
They rarely produce significant accumulation.
