Both
While they are falling to the ground, they are in the atmosphere.
80 -90% of the atmosphere is in the troposphere and snowflakes form in the troposphere

SNOWFLAKES FORM IN A LAYER OF AIR WARMER THAN 32DEGREES F. AS A DROPLET OF WATER AND FALL THROUGH A LAYER OF AIR 32 DEGREES F. OR COLDER AND FREEZE INTO SNOWFLAKES. IT'S REALLY NEAT THE WAY IT JUST HAPPENS BY ACCIDENT. NOT.

We are in the atmosphere right now :) but I know what you mean. They form high up, inside the clouds.
