I think you are incorrect. It's raindrops and snowFLAKES. There are of course both rainfall and snowfall, I thought you knew this?

Nice try on a play on words but it does not work because the equivalent of rain drop is snowflake, not snowfall.
But if rainfalls and snowfalls what does hail do?

Rainfall is the measure of precipitation over a set period
Snowdrop is a little flower that pops up in the spring
And they way to tell the difference between summer and winter in Yorkshire is that the snow melts before it hits the ground in the summer.

It's not an unusual occurence. Depending on what type of climate you're in; rain, sleet, and snow can fall at the same time during the winter.

A tough question, huh? It's sort of a riddle! Rain is heavy, therefore it drops! Snow is light(comparatively speaking), so It falls! All of this is based on Earths' Gravitational pull!

Mass to volume ratio. Snow flakes have a large surface area and therfore wind resistance - so they fall to earth. Rain on the other hand is droplet shape and therefore drops to earth.

Water vapor existing in air when turns into liquid state we call it a rain drop. But some times when temperature is very low water vapor directly turns into solid state i.e., ice particles, and we call it snow.
