(I feel I should add, I know it's not the cold directly that causes the lack of snow at lower temperatures but too much dynamic stability...)
It is actually a myth that it gets "too cold to snow" - it just happens to be more rare when it is both really cold AND snowing. It doesn't snow much in Antarctica because it's a desert, NOT because it's cold.

Don't forget to factor in wind-chill!
