Drifting dust, and ice near the ground
Sometimes, when there is moderately strong gusting wind, one can see the wind raising a little dust just a little above the ground, from the ankle height, up to a few meters. When the wind gust is gone, the dust goes back on the ground. Sometimes a small vortex of dust is formed, sometimes, they are just blankets of dust.
What are these kind of dust clouds called? Is there a different name when dust is mixed with ice, or frozen snow, or when it's just frozen snow?
The whirling vortex (visible because of the dust raised) is sometimes called a
dust devil
A small whirlwind or air vortex over land, visible as a column of dust and debris.
the wind kicked up dust devils in the street
