A falling snowflake or raindrop does not accelerate as it approaches the ground because their mass doesn't change. The form is not affected throughout the fall so it is already approaching the ground at terminal velocity.
Hope this helps.

What makes an object move faster and faster as it approaches the ground?
Gravity, until terminal velocity is achieved.
What happens when an object falls to the ground?
Its weight causes it to accelerate. That is in simple terms. When an object falls to the ground, it still has mass, it still has weight, and it has constant forces acting upon it, such as gravity.
What is the force between shoes and the ground?
When you stand still . . . The sole of your shoe exerts a downward force equal to your weight against the ground. The ground exerts an upward force equal to your weight against the sole of your shoe. The net force where the sole of your shoe meets the ground is zero, which is the reason that your shoe doesn't accelerate vertically.
What force is applied between your shoes and the ground?
When you stand still . . . The sole of your shoe exerts a downward force equal to your weight against the ground. The ground exerts an upward force equal to your weight against the sole of your shoe. The net force where the sole of your shoe meets the ground is zero, which is the reason that your shoe doesn't accelerate vertically.
How does firing gas from a rocket backward accelerate the rocket forward?
Well, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so when the gas pushes against the ground, the ground "pushes" back, forcing the rocket upwards.
A raindrop that freezes before reaching the ground?
snow.
How much force does a raindrop hit the ground with?
about 6.5 milinewtons
What would drier air cause a raindrop to do?
Evaporate before it reaches the ground, potentially.
Why do objects accelerate when they fall to the ground?
because they are fat
What makes it move faster as it approaches the ground?
force of gravity

How does Permeability affect on ground water?

What cause speakers in a car stereo to ring and buzz when you accelerate the gas?
You need a better ground
What makes an object move faster and faster as it approaches the ground?
Gravity, until terminal velocity is achieved.
What causes the freely falling body to accelerate to the ground?
The mutual attractive forces of gravity between the body and the Earth.
