Snow Squall!

We got our squall in JP at about 615 PM, as the snow suddenly turned heavy, and it turned very windy as well. The snow coated the ground, but then it ended. Once the squall line made it to 128 it faded a little so it was a very quick, but intense squall in Boston. Now, with that frontal passage the skies will clear, and the winds will pick up. Temps will fall dramatically and be at around 10 by morning. With winds gusting over 40 MPH, it will feel like 10 below. Highs will only recover to the mid to upper teens- frigid weather for my pickup ACC football game. 

Alert: A Wind Advisory is in effect until 5 AM for wind gusts to 50 MPH. 

Tonight: A chance of a snow shower early, then rapid clearing and turning very cold and windy. Lows near 12 Downtown, 10 in JP and 8 in the suburbs. NW winds of 25-35 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH. 

Friday: Sunny, frigid and very windy. High 17. NW wind of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 45 MPH. Wind chill values as low as 10 below before 9 AM, and remaining near 0 all day. 

Friday night: Coldest night of the season so far. Clear, with lows near 5 Downtown, 3 in JP and below 0 in the suburbs.  

Saturday: Sunny, but still frigid. High 22. NW wind of 15-25 MPH. Wind chill values as low as 15 below before 9 AM, and a max value of 5 above.  

Sunday: Sunny, and still very cold. Highs near 25.

    I was out driving in that squall and, for about 10 minutes, it was snowing so hard I couldn't see more than a couple of houses down the block and had to pull over. Then, almost as quickly as it started, it stopped. Why does something that intense just appear and disappear so suddenly?
