How snow formsSnow is what forms when water vapor is cooled to below freezing point quickly. The water vapor doesn't get a chance to form into rain droplets and forms snow crystals instead. This typically happens when warm moist air comes into contact with very cold air.

Because below a certain temperature the stable phase of Water is Ice. Thus when the temperature of the atmosphere is below this critical point, any water coming out of solution in the air does so as small ice crystals which grow to form snowflakes. These then fall to Earth as snow rather than the normal rain.

At first it is rain but if it is below 0 it is colder and when the rain gets closer to the earth it freezes and that is what turns it to snow
