Snow
Snow is a precipitation of ice crystals, singly or stuck together, that falls from a cloud. At temperatures warmer than about –5 °C, the crystals generally stick together into snowflakes. This picture from Thal, Austria shows snowflakes at 1 and 2 falling from the cloud.

Visibility is usually reduced by falling snow to at least some extent. Moderate or heavy intensity of falling snowflakes will reduce visibility considerably.

Snow shower from a cumulonimbus
The Cumulonimbus cloud at 1 - 2 is only moderately developed, but the anvil form and the striated appearance are evident. A snow shower at 3 - 4 is falling from the cloud; the snow changes into rain close below the level of the 0°C isotherm, a little above the surface of the lake (535 m above m.s.1.). The station was in a flow of maritime polar air from between north and north-west, causing unusually cold summer weather and instability phenomena over Scandinavia.
