Science - Meteorology
English term or phrase: blowing snow
This phrase appeared to me in a software string regarding weather.
I can find several explanations in English (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_snow) but no correspondence in Portuguese.
Could you please give me a hand?

neve ao vento


Explanation:
Sugestão:

Aqui no Brasil, em tempo muito seco o vento "levanta" a poeira. Dificultando, às vezes, dependendo de sua intensidade a visibilidade. Imagino que blowing snow tem o mesmo princípio. A neve se "levanta" com o vento.
