Conditions were ripe for snow squalls to quickly — but effectively — blanket parts of the northeast Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
A snow squall is "an intense short-lived burst of heavy snowfall that leads to a quick reduction in visibilities and is often accompanied by gusty winds," according to the National Weather Service.
