Snow is an ice crystal made from very small water droplets. If you are talking about the regular action of snow being created in the atmosphere, it doesn't come from water vapor. Water droplets in the air will condense from lowering temperatures and start to group together. Those droplets will merge with more droplets. This is repeated over and over until the water droplets become heavy enough to fall from the sky. As they do, they will freeze. Smaller ones will make small ice formations: snow. Bigger droplets will make things like slush and hail. All of these things are conceptually the same thing. The size of the ice is what determines the name.
