is it black before snowfall too? yes it is.....the weather channel says it is cause by light spectral absorption caused by massive amount of water in the air

The darker clouds are a result from the scattering and absorption of the sunlight by the deeper and more dense regions of water droplets. The deeper the droplets in a cloud, the more sunlight that will be blocked making the clouds appear darker at the base. Clouds can be many different colors all depending on how the light traveling through the cloud is scattered (at what wavelength in the color spectrum).

The clouds turn black before a rainfall because the condensed particles in the mass of a cloud start to fall down....

As more water is evaporated into the cloud, it becomes more full of water. The more water in a cloud, the more dark it is. This is why dark clouds bring rain.

Because the cloud can't carry the condensed air anymore so it needs to let go

because it is full of water and gives a signal that rain/snow will come.
