Snowflakes are condensed water vapor that freezes. They are crystals of water The shape or form of the flake is determined by the temperature and humidity. The higher the humidity and moderately cold temperatures creates the 6 pointed "flakes", lower or higher cold temperatures and lower humidity create six sided cylindrical type crystals. If the snow hits warmer layers of air as it falls, it can become sleet.

Gas H2O (evaporated water) freezes befor it gets low enough in the atmosphere to return to Liquid H2O (regular water) it is baiscaly frozen air with a really high humidity. this is why it doesnt snow when its super cold, not enough water is in gas form and thats why its also really dry out in the winter!

Well, first the water in the cloud starts to freeze, then after the cloud gets so full the snow sprinkles on the ground.

snow forms when falling ice crystals attract other ice crystals. The shape of these crystals is determined by the temperature and condition of the air when it was formed.
many chemicals and solutions form crystals. a neat way to see crystals form is by making rock candy.

In simple terms.
The rain becomes snow when the temperature goes colder.
