Yes, clouds are necessary for snow to form. Snow forms when water vapor in the clouds condenses into ice crystals and falls to the ground. Without clouds, there would be no source of moisture for snow to develop.


Water falling from clouds?

Water falling from clouds is called precipitation. It occurs when water droplets in the clouds become heavy enough to fall due to gravity or when they freeze into ice crystals and fall as snow. Precipitation can come in various forms such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

They can form together to make cumulonimbus clouds that can make rain or snow. Cumulus clouds can be a prediction of heavy weather to come if they appear at certain times of the day.Cumulus clouds are considered the 'fair weather' cloud, as they do not produce rain or snow on their own unless they form together into a cumulonimbus to do so.


Can cirrus clouds form snow?

Cirrus clouds are high enough to be at a low enough temperature for the water droplets to form into ice crystals. However, Cirrus clouds are not precipitation clouds, so no snow or rain can fall from them. The clouds that can cause snow to fall in the right conditions are Nimbostratus and Cumulonimbus clouds.
