Having spent five winters in Rome, I never saw snow - la neve - like in the UK. However, I have spent a very wintery weekend in Venice a few years ago, where there was lots of neve (which is a feminine noun)!
The verb is nevicare - to snow:
Oggi nevica - It’s snowing today
For a mix of rain and snow - sleet - in Italian we say il nevischio, for example:
È previsto il nevischio domani - They’re predicting sleet for tomorrow.
