Snow occurs when the air within clouds falls below the freezing point. The moisture starts to crystalize, and the tiny particles begin to stick together. Once they're big enough/heavy enough, gravity kicks in and they fall to the ground - hence 'snow'.

In a nutshell, snow is pretty much frozen rain. And there's a little more science to it but I think I've covered the basics
