We had one here in NE PA yesterday. Put down some snow in about 15 minutes. There was a 40 car pile up on I-81 Pocono area, fortunately no bad injuries.
Thanks for the report. I obtained screenshots of those warnings from Twitter and some reported they got those warnings but there was nothing in their area.
We got the warning and we live between Clinton, Wisconsin and Whitewater, WI. I never made that connection until I just read your comment. How did I not make that connection?
But we definitely got hammered by a short but intense snow and wind "squall".
I got the snow squall warning and it was right on the money. Snowing so hard I could barely see across my back yard.
There was a thin band of intense snow headed East that went from at least the lower edge of Pennsylvania to well up into Canada.
It only lasted about 20 minutes here.

Same here in NEPA.

On Twitter, I saw the snow squall alerts were coming from interesting places, such as Clinton, Illinois, and Whitewater, WI.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. Wonder what G v E/R v W means?
Good vs. Evil / Right vs. Wrong
Ah, thanks. I always overcomplicate things, never think of the obvious :)
G v E = [US] Government vs. Evergreen [HRC]?
R v W = Russia vs. West?
Illinois reporting: got these alerts late on Friday night yet we got not a single flake all weekend.
Interdasting. Got those Thursday night after it had snowed all day in Crook County.
But was it snowing after the warning?
Looks like NBC Chicago was inundated with questions about what the fuck a Snow Squall is.

All those snow squall warnings went out and then the National Weather Service took the whole system down at 6PM EST to fix the issue. Kek.
Correction. 'Squall.'

There must be a connection. This term “snow squall” is new, correct?
I've never seen it on a phone weather warning. Anybody else?
