Does snow freeze in the cloud or does it freeze in the air ONCE it comes out of the cloud?

All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.
