Microscopic water droplets - which would normally fall as rain - freeze due to the low temperature. They stick together to form larger flakes - which become too heavy to stay in the clouds - so they fall as snow.

Snow forms when the temperature in the atmosphere is cold enough for water vapor to freeze into ice crystals. These ice crystals then come together to form snowflakes. If the air near the ground is also cold, the snowflakes will reach the ground as snow.
