When water freezes, it turns into crystals. These can either be locked together in a large group to form a solid lump or slab to form ice, or a few of them get together to form a snowflake. But they're still the same stuff, and they'll both be the same temperature as the surrounding conditions allow.
It's like asking if sand is hotter or colder than a rock. They too will have whatever temperature the conditions in their surroundings allow for them.
If it gets hotter around the snow/ice, solid ice will heat up(and eventually melt) a bit slower, on account of being denser.

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!
You feel more cold when snow melts than snow fall?
Snow is colder because it is frozen rain, so it feeds off of the cold air. EX:the air outside is 34 degrees the snow is less than 32 degrees because that is water freezing point; also note that snow must be colder because, say you pick up snow it's colder than the air because, it makes your hands numb, does the air do that?

It depends on more than the temperature. It can snow when it is above freezing point (if it's colder where the snow comes from).
