Cirrostratus Clouds
Snow is not a type of condensation fog. Condensation fog includes cloud and dew, where water vapor condenses in the air to form droplets that can then accumulate to form clouds or settle on surfaces as dew. Snow is formed by the direct transformation of water vapor into ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Nimbostratus clouds are thick enough to blot out sunlight. This type of cloud is associated with heavy, continuous rain or snow.
The type of precipitation that falls from a Cumulonimbus cloud is usually determined by the temperature of the air below the cloud. Rain will fall if the temperature is above freezing, while snow or hail will fall if the temperature is below freezing. Other factors like atmospheric pressure and humidity can also influence the type of precipitation.
Cumulonimbus clouds are usually the type of moisture producing clouds. Bear in mind that the altitude of a cloud may vary the type of cloud; air temps can make the difference between rain or snow.
The three types of precipitation are rain, snow, and hail. Rain forms when water droplets in clouds combine and fall to the ground. Snow forms when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals. Hail forms when water droplets are carried up and down in a storm cloud, accumulating layers of ice until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground.

I think it is nimbostatus but don't quote me on it.

Snow is formed by the direct transformation of water vapor into ice crystals in the atmosphere.
A rain-producing cloud is typically called a nimbus cloud. This type of cloud is responsible for producing precipitation, such as rain or snow.
Cirrus or nombostratus
The root word is "nimbus," which means a type of cloud that typically brings rain.
Cirrostratus
No, "cirrus" is a type of high-altitude cloud, typically wispy and feathery in appearance, but it does not specifically indicate that rain is coming. Clouds that bring rain are generally associated with nimbus or cumulus clouds. Each type of cloud has its own characteristics and weather implications.
Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.
Rain and snow are forms of precipitation that can undergo changes after leaving a cloud. Rain can freeze into sleet or hail if temperatures are cold enough, while snow can melt into rain if temperatures warm up.
