How can it snow when there is a high pressure system?
it MIGHT depend on the type of cloud that is in this system or the front
What type of cloud will tell you that snow may be coming and from what type of cloud will snow fall?
a grey one
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 is water cycle or hydrological cycle?
It is the cycle that rain, sleet, hail, or snow can evaporate and form a cloud and when the cloud gets heavy and depending on the weather it comes down as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, or even a mixture. Here, i will explain it better. Water (or snow) just sits there til it evaporates. The water rises as water vapor. As the water vapor rises higher and higher into the air and all the water vapor join together it forms a cloud. As more water droplets (water vapor) gather together in the the cloudit gets heavier and heavier. It eventually gets so heavy it drops as rain, sleet, hail, or snow depending on the weather. If it is hot outside it will come down as rain, only sometimes you will get hail or sleet. If it is bellow freezing (32 degrees) it might snow. Thank you for reading :).
What kind of cloud does snow fall from?
Cumulus!
What type of cloud may mean that a heavy snow is coming?
I think it is nimbostatus but don't quote me on it.
What type of cloud is thick enough to blot out sunlight?
Nimbostratus clouds are thick enough to blot out sunlight. This type of cloud is associated with heavy, continuous rain or snow.

When water droplets in a cloud combine become too heavy and fall to the ground as rain snow sleet or hail are expriencing?
precipitation
Why does it snow in winter months?
it snows in winter months because the water in the clouds freeze and the cloud cant hold it for long because it gets heavy ,so then the snow falls and that's that.
What happens when water leaves a clouds?
When water becomes too heavy to remain in the air as a cloud, it precipitates. This can be in the form of rain, snow, or hail.
What is snow lightning?
Snow lightning is when it is snowing and there is lightning at the same time. It occurs because of the same principles of storm cloud lightning: convergence of distinct temperatures, heavy particles in clouds, and ionized air.
What type of cloud will tell you that snow may be coming and from what type of cloud will snow fall?
a grey one
What is it called if you are blocked in by heavy snow?
Snowbound is when you are blocked in by heavy snow.

What cloud tells you snow is coming?
When you see a precipitation cloud (Nimbostratus or Cumulonimbus) you can never tell if it will be rain or snow until the snow actually begins
How cold does a snow cloud have to be to snow?
0 degrees celsius
