What is a snow burst?

Sagot :

A snowburst is a short, strong snow shower that is dangerous because visibility is very low and can cause roads to ice up quickly. 

Answer:

A snow burst is a short period of heavy and intense snowfall, causing a tendency for rapid snow accumulation. This phenomenon is without the presence of winds and generally restricts visibility in the roads.

Currently this term is commonly used in the meteorological field to describe the phenomenom above; the first time it was used is when it was coined by the meteorology professor Robert Sykes on the 1960s.
