Well, it CAN stick as I've collected it a number of times on 172 and 182
airplanes. I can't explain for certainty why, but I'm guessing it is
the combination of water and ice crystals in the same snowflake that mix
and stick upon impact.

You don't fly much in PA in the winter without encountering snow of all
forms (and there are many forms of snow). Most doesn't stick, but some
does if the conditions are right.
