My food in the freezer looks like it has been snowing in there. Can anyone tell my why?

This is freezer frost. What happens, essentially, is that on a warm or humid day when you open the freezer a lot -- or more commonly when you accidentally leave it ajar (when the edge of a package gets stuck in the seal as you close it, for example) -- condensation builds up as warm, humid air hits the cold, dry air inside. It collects on the inside surfaces. This condensation then quickly re-freezes from the cold of the freezer itself or the frozen food under it, and it forms this "snow".
Unless you have a frost-free freezer that automatically prevents this, you should defrost a freezer a couple times a year (as the ice builds up) by emptying it and turning it off for a day. Once it's clean and dry, put the food back in. Obviously, try to do it when there's not much perishable food to deal with.
A self-defrosting freezer uses special "evaporation coils" to aggressively pull the moisture out of the air, keeping this buildup from occurring.

How to clean a commercial freezer?
Anyone who has run a restaurant knows that one of the most important aspects of running a restaurant is keeping the freezer clean. Not only is an unclean freezer a potential health hazard for the restaurant’s customers, but an unclean freezer can also increase food costs and decrease profits if it is a harborage for mold and other organisms that may damage the stored food. The first step in cleaning a commercial freezer is to turn the unit off so that there is not a danger of electrical shock while the freezer is being cleaned. The next step is to lay a cloth, old newspapers, or other covering at the bottom of the freezer and underneath the freezer in order to absorb any excess water that will fall from the freezer as ice and frost melts. All food items must then be taken out of the freezer and stored in another temperature-controlled environment. Once all items have been taken out of the freezer, any trays, shelves, or other removable components must then be taken out of the freezer and washed. Once all removable components have been removed from the freezer, the freezer should be allowed to completely defrost. The freezer walls and floors can then be cleaned with hot water and a cleaner that is safe for use on food contact surfaces. The freezer walls and floors should not be cleaned until all ice and frost has been removed from the freezer. Once the freezer has been cleaned, a dry rag should be used to remove all traces of water from the walls and floor of the freezer. It is extremely important to remove any excess water, since any moisture that remains in the freezer will turn to ice when the temperature of the freezer is brought back down below the freezing point. Once the freezer floor and walls have been dried, any removable components taken out of the freezer can then be placed back in the freezer. The freezer should then be turned back on, and the ambient temperature of the freezer should be allowed to return to the temperature specification that is required by the user. Food items can then be returned back to the freezer.

How do you predict the temperature of the air in a balloon with known starting volume and temperature after it has been in a freezer with known temperature for a 10 seconds?
If it's been in the freezer long enough, it will have the same temperature of the freezer. Thermal energy is transferred from warmer objects to cooler objects until there is an equilibrium, which in this case is the temperature of the freezer.
