Not really. In the winter, whether it's raining or snowing, there is snow in the clouds - if it's raining at the surface that means the snow has melted before it reached the ground. There are different processes for the formation of rain and snow in a cloud, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at a cloud whether it contains rain or snow.

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.
The higher you get in the troposphere, the colder it gets. However, when you reach the stratosphere the temperature starts to increase. A warm parcel of air rising creates a cumulus cloud, and eventually turns into a cumulonimbus cloud, which is a rain/snow cloud. As the warm updraft relies on colder surrounding air for it to be buoyant, as it gets warmer again it is no longer buoyant and begins to flatten out at the base of the stratosphere, unable to rise any further. Evidence of this is shown at the top of the cloud, which appears flattened like a pancake or appearing like an anvil. So it is this increase of temperature in the stratosphere which keeps rain and snow restricted to the troposphere.
The amount of water vapor in the air has the greatest effect on the formation of rain or snow. When the air is saturated with water vapor and condensation occurs, precipitation can form as rain or snow depending on temperature conditions.

Cloud seeding is a commonly used method to induce rain or snow by dispersing substances like silver iodide or dry ice into clouds to encourage the formation of precipitation. This process helps to stimulate cloud condensation and ice nucleation to enhance precipitation in areas experiencing drought or water scarcity.

A "Nimbus Cloud" is a cloud that produces precipitation. Most likely a Hail or Snow Cloud.
Cloud seeding is a weather modification technique in which substances like silver iodide or potassium iodide are dispersed into clouds to encourage the formation of ice crystals, which can then grow into raindrops and trigger precipitation. These substances provide nuclei around which water droplets can condense and form rain or snow, enhancing the natural process of cloud formation.
