Snow forms when the atmospheric temperature is at or below freezing (0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit) and there is a minimum amount of moisture in the air. If the ground temperature is at or below freezing, of course the snow will reach the ground. In the clouds, the water droplets freeze and become ice crystals, or snow!

Freezing point depression is when the normal freezing temperature of a liquid is lowered by the addition of another solate for example the freezing temperature of fresh water can be lowered by the introduction of salt. This is why when salt is laid over snow the snow melts because the salt combines with the water in the snow and thereby increases it's freezing temperature.
