Snow is formed when water freezes
not an exact answer. the correct theory behind snow formation is given below. assume that at some instant supercooled liquid droplets present in the cloud. when some impurities ,called nucleus, contacts with this supercooled liquid droplet it suddenly FREEZES forming ice particle. after that the water vapor present in the cloud DESUBLIMES over this ice particle thereby incresing its size called SNOW. several snow particles can combine together to form SNOW FLAKES.
