Snow forms an ice ball when compressed because the pressure forces the individual snowflakes to melt slightly on their surfaces. This melted water then refreezes quickly due to the cold temperatures, forming the ice ball. The pressure applied during compression increases the temperature at the points of contact, facilitating the melting and subsequent freezing process.
