So what is snow? Snow may look fluffy and soft, but its actually not. Snow is very simple. It forms when water condenses on dust and dirt particles high up in the atmosphere. That's right, snow is basically just dirt. That's also why its always cloudy when it snows. Clouds are the water vapor that condenses on the dirt. When its cold enough, these water particles freeze creating that white puffy stuff we see in winter!
