Just answered your previous question and this is a similar answer...
Some snowflakes are 'wet' and will adhere on contact to surfaces such as metal and glass but others are 'dry' and don't adhere on contact. You said before that it's only 20 degrees F so it's likely that the snow is the 'dry' variety - smallish rounded flakes. This type of snow tends to accumulate where it settles out of the wind - behind walls, in corners and so on. If there's wind blowing the flakes will blow off roofs, walls etc before they have time to stick there.

Even though its below freezing in the air, the ground is not below freezing. It usually takes time and than when you start seeing snow on the road ways den that means its below freezing on the roadway.

have you just driven your car? the latent heat from your car might be melting the snow.
also, if the finish of the car is smooth the snow should just fly off with a slight breeze.
