Rain falls primarily from cumulus, stratocumulus and stratus clouds. When cirrus clouds precipitate, they normally produce ice crystals.

Not really. In the winter, whether it's raining or snowing, there is snow in the clouds - if it's raining at the surface that means the snow has melted before it reached the ground. There are different processes for the formation of rain and snow in a cloud, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at a cloud whether it contains rain or snow.
