National Weather Service Snow Squall 2025 Season. There’s a difference between a snow squall and a snow storm. The first real snow of the season could hit parts of the philly metro, jersey shore and north jersey areas in the coming days, but the forecast is about more than just the flakes.

A snow squall is an intense burst of snow and wind that doesn’t last long but brings whiteout visibility. If a snow squall warning is issued for your area, avoid or delay motor travel until the squall passes through your location.
