It is simply about the intensity. Snow flurries are just some snowflakes in the air that generally don't even whiten the ground. Snow squall indicates potentially heavy snowfall that can accumulate a few inches (or more, in extreme cases) in an hour. Squalls also indicate a very showery nature to the snow - that is, the intensity varies quite rapidly.
