How does humidity affect the type of snow?
It has much more of an effect up in the so-called snow growth region of the clouds than it does at the surface. After all, snowflakes have already fully formed as they fall to the surface. At the surface, humidity tends to be pretty high. If it's not, the snow will sublimate before reaching the ground until the atmospheric column is saturated.
