Wild photos and videos reveal the snow squall moving through New York

For those who don't experience snow squalls, the sight of the cloud of snow engulfing a city can be an alarming sight. It wasn't a microburst from the midwest or the cloud of fog that can consume the buildings of San Francisco. The Wednesday squall was like both, but with snow.

A squall is generally regarded as a sudden burst of wind or a localized storm. In this case, the snow squall was like a wall of snow moving across the New York landscape.
