Micorbursts and Snow Squalls?

Question

Tell me What's the differnce?

Typo, I meant Microbursts

Answer 1

Both Microburst( sudden burst of energy to a confine space) and snow squalls are generatedby cold air in localized areas,both can be devastating.
A microburst is the process by which cold air sinks rapidly convergently or dip straight forward down simillar to tornadoes but are distinguisable as it dose not rotate due to is nature,this sudden movement of air can cause sever damage.

Snow squalls are areas were in the atmostphere moisture is plentifull due to the presence of a near by body of water which is usually wamer in winter month.
In other words pockets of colder air may encounter a body of water that is wamer and carry this moisture over as snow on land, were in some segments of the squalls there is a high concentration of moisture which can cause a white out or low visibility.

The major difference is that a microburst will give you wind speed of up to 150 mile an hour,and can cause sever damage.
A squall is the movement of cold air over warm water which collects moisture and dumps that energy opan a land area on the other side, especially if small hills or mountains are in the terrain.

Answer 2

A microburst occurs when dense, rain cooled air in a thunderstorm's downdraft falls to the surface and spreads out. This usually results in severe winds, sometimes up to 100 knots. It is smaller in extent than a downburst, which is basically the same thing but less localized. Sometimes a dry microburst occurs when the rain does not reach the ground (virga).
A snow squall is basically heavy snow (measured by visability restrictions not snowfall rate) and gusty winds. It is not related to a microburst.

Answer 3

A microburst is a strong downdraft from a cumulonimbus cloud that spread out along the surface like a fast moving cold front. It is associated closely with heavy rains and strong gusty winds. They are very dangerous for aircraft on landing or taking off, as they have been known to drastically affect the lift on the aircraft and cause a sudden crash.

Snow squalls are are heavy snow showers associated with gusting surface wind generally associated with frontal weather or a strong low pressure center along the front. The clouds from which these snow storms form are often more like strato-cumulus clouds with far less vertical development than the towering cumulus associated with cumulonimbus or thunderstorms.
