Not really. In the winter, whether it's raining or snowing, there is snow in the clouds - if it's raining at the surface that means the snow has melted before it reached the ground. There are different processes for the formation of rain and snow in a cloud, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at a cloud whether it contains rain or snow.

Is it less likely to snow the colder it is?
Snow is frozen rain, which means the colder it is, the more likely it is to snow! This is why rain melts snow, as it is warmer. Snow is just rain, but a bit colder, so it's frozen. If it's very cold, below 0 degrees Celsius, and it doesn't rain but the clouds go dark, it is more likely to snow heavily and thickly, than to rain.Hope that helped you!
