Default Terminology in forecasts

On BBC News 24 at 10 a.m. Susan Powell used terminology I haven't heard
before. She said that tonight the south will see some more 'heavy wintry
flurries'.

One of the meanings of 'flurry' in my dictionary is 'a light snowfall',
so can we expect heavy light snowfalls?!

I know TV presentation isn't an easy job, but .............. I despair
:-(
