What clouds make rain and snow?
Here are a list of clouds that can make rain and/or snow:Altocumulus - can bring precipitationAltostratus - can bring rain or snowStratocumulus - can bring light rain or drizzleStratus - can bring minor precipitationNimbostratus - can bring constant precipitationCumulonimbus - can bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, or light showersContrary to popular belief, cumulus clouds do not make rain or snow. 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.
Does a cold front always bring rain or snow?
Not necessarily. Cold fronts can bring precipitation in the form of rain, snow, or even thunderstorms, depending on the temperature and moisture levels of the air mass it is displacing. The type of precipitation is determined by the atmospheric conditions present when the front passes through an area.
Does an anticyclone bring rain?
No. Cyclones often bring rain or snow. Anticyclones bring fair weather with few or no clouds.
Which type of cloud is most likely to cause rain or snow?
There are two main rain/snow making clouds. Nimbostratus, a thick uniformly grey cloud at low heights will cause light to moderate rain or snow to fall over long periods of time. Cumulonimbus, a massive white towering cloud sometimes with the shape of an anvil, with a very dark appearance from below. These clouds will make very heavy rain/snow fall over a short time, often with the presence of lightning. These are the clouds that will make rain and snow
Is snow rain?
No, snow and rain are two different forms of precipitation. Snow falls as frozen ice crystals, while rain falls as liquid water droplets. Snow forms when the temperature is cold enough for water vapor to freeze before it reaches the ground, whereas rain forms when water droplets combine and fall from clouds.

Is it true that warm fronts are associated with clouds and rain?

How do the prevailing westerlies change the climate of parts of the us and Canada?
The westerlies bring air masses from the west to the east.
Does it rain during low pressure?
Rain is usually associated with low pressure, but not all low pressure systems bring rain. For example, if it is cold enough, a low pressure-system will likely bring snow instead.
