It depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the air, the temperature of the different surfaces, the time of day, and the time of year/latitude which affects sun angle.

Why does some snow stick together and some does not?

Moisture. Wet snow contains more water in liquid form, which allows it to bond and "stick" with other snow. This type of snow is common when snow falls at temperatures near freezing. Dryer snow does not stick together because it is almost entirely ice crystals, and this type of snow falls at colder temperatures.
