well, no.
but; -40 is the magic number.
when it gets any colder than -32, for each degree, it cuts in half the likelyhood of actuall snowfall.
once you hit -40, you are down to less than a fraction of a percent.
as far as it actually factually being too cold to snow, anyways.
most people don't take into acount that snow can actually fall at thoes tempatures, if the wind is right. you need three things to make snow:
air cold enough to form ice crystals in water (al-la 0 degrees)
wind, to move the cristals, so they fall out of formation (hello wind chill!)
and moisture in the air.
with enough wind, you can knock crystals out of formation even at -40.
(but it's not very likely)
somewhere arround -32 (with calculated wind-chill) people start to say "it's too cold to snow!" and, for some part, they are right. however, it's still possible to snow, just unlikely.
once you hit -40 with windchill, it's even less likely; but, if you have 0 degree weather, and winds that reduce it to -40, you actually have the perfect combination for snow.
the real tempature has to be less than about -15, and then, if the windchill dosn't acount for much, it won't snow.
make sense?
