Snow squalls are short, intense bursts of snow and wind that can reduce visibility and cause dangerous travel conditions. Delay travel if possible.. Don’t let snow squalls sneak up on you!
ALT Sneaky Winter Hazards: Snow squalls. There is a long history of deadly traffic accidents associated with these intense snow events that are accompanied by strong winds and a quick reduction in visibility. Safety tips: avoid or delay motor travel until the squall passes; reduce your speed, turn on your headlights and hazard lights, and try to exit the road.
