What type of cloud will tell you that snow may be coming and from what type of cloud will snow fall?
a grey one
Does snow freeze in the cloud or does it freeze in the air ONCE it comes out of the cloud?
All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.
What type of cloud usually tells that rain or snow will fall within several hours?
Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.
Under what conditions can snow fall?
During the water-cycle, the vapor forms a cloud/clouds, then the cloud/clouds collect water (from lake, rivers, oceans, ect....) then (though only if it's really cold), the water freezes and when the cloud is finally too loaded, it rains though instead of rain you get SNOW.
Are snow cloud's rain cloud's that have frozen?
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.

What kind of cloud brings snow?
Stratus clouds

What kind of precipitation will fall if the surface temperature is 40 degrees?
snow will fall when it is about 10.degrees Fahrenheit
Why don't clouds fall to earth?
Actually they do fall to the earth. Clouds are drops of water and when it rains, snow, hails, or if there is any sleet it is cloud falling through the ground.
When water droplets in a cloud combine become too heavy and fall to the ground as rain snow sleet or hail are expriencing?
precipitation
What Cloud droplets combine and grow large enough to fall to earth?
Precipitation. Usually it is rain, but it could be sleet, snow, or hail.
What is cloud droplets combine and grow large enough to fall to earth?
Precipitation. Usually it is rain, but it could be sleet, snow, or hail.
What kind of precipitation occurs when water droplets freeze as they fall to earth?
snow
What type of cloud usually tells that rain or snow will fall within several hours?
Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.
What kind of cloud does sleet fall from?
There are several types, including nimbostratus and different types of cumulus.
