All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.

What is the cloud temperature when it snows?

The temperature inside a cloud where snow forms is typically between -12 to -18 degrees Celsius (10 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, water droplets freeze into ice crystals, resulting in snowflakes.

Yes, you can freeze snow further by lowering the temperature beyond its freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius. This can turn the snow into ice.
