"Convective snow flurries" are generally short periods of snowfall, but they can often be quite intense. They result from the convection that occurs as the day warms. It can be blue sky, then it can snow 10-20 cm in several hours, and then be blue sky again. The evening will be clear probably as the air cools and the clouds dissipate.
