The main cloud that makes snow is the Cumulonimbus cloud. The bases of these clouds are low, about 2000ft from the ground. This cloud however, is very tall, the top can reach 20,000 to 60,000ft.
Cumulonimbus are not the only cloud capable of making snow, Nimbostratus and Cumulus clouds can also produce snow, all of their bases are relatively low.
Cumulonimbus clouds do not always make snow though, the main weather that they bring are thunderstorms.

∙ 14y agoReally high 7000 meters or 23000 feet " cirrus" thin curly like hair Cirrus clouds are formed when water vapor freezes into ice crystals at altitudes above 8000 meters (26,000 ft). Due to the sparse moisture at a high altitude, they tend to be very thin. At this altitude, aircraft leave condensation trails that can turn into cirrus clouds. This happens when hot exhaust, mostly water, freezes, leaving a visible trail. Streaks may appear straight when wind shear is absent, giving the clouds the appearance of a comma ( cirrus uncinus), or tangle, an indication of high-level turbulence . The falling ice crystals evaporate before reaching the ground.

How high is a Cumulus Clouds off the ground?
Cumulus clouds are puffy. If the humidity is high, a cumulus cloud's low point may be about 3,00 feet (900 m). However, cumulus clouds in dry regions such as deserts sometimes have bases as high as 10,000 feet (3,000m). This is still low compared to some clouds.
How high are cirrus clouds off the ground?
Cirrus are the highest cloud types, generally occurring between 25 and 30 thousand feet up.
What is it called when wather moves from high to low ground?
when water moves from clouds (high ground) to the low ground it is called rain also known as precipitation.
How many miles are stratus clouds from the ground?
I'm pretty sure that it is about 6 miles from the ground to the clouds
What are feathery high clouds?
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds usually formed at high altitudes.
Is there more air pressure high above the clouds or the clouds or on the ground?
in the air
What are clouds made of and how high are they off the ground?
Clouds are made of water that has dried up and become water vapours. These vapours rise into the air and cool down into clouds. When the clouds are completely cooled, it will rain. Clouds can be at a varying height, depending on the vapour density.

What clouds are responsible for thunderstorms and how can you identify what cloud it is?
Cumulonimbus. Thunderstorm clouds are typically very thick and therefore have a high albedo (not very much sunlight penetrates through to the ground, most gets reflected off of the top). Therefore, these clouds appear grey and dark on the bottom.
How high arae clouds above sea level?
Well clouds can be as high as they want.(Just not in space because there is no moisture.) Or they can be as low as the ground.(Like smog, fog, ect)
