It depends entirely upon the water content of the snow.

When the snow is wet and temperatures are not that cold (like in the 30's) the snowballs are perfect. The snow sticks together. When it's really cold and there is very little moisture on the snow, the snow just falls apart and doesn't glom together. I love snowball fights, and I miss the snow, why don't we have any this year???

Snow that falls in countries with lower latitudes tends to be wetter because of the lower temperatures, therefore it sticks to it's self forming snowballs.
Snow that falls in higher latitudes tends to be drier, because of the sub zero temperatures the snow doesn't melt and acts like powder not sticking together and forming snowballs, hope I've been a help...... maccy
