1. It's snowing again.
2. It's been snowing again.
3. It's snowed again.
What's the difference in meaning between the above three sentences?

1. It's snowing again.
means it is snowing now.
2. It's been snowing again.
means the snow has stopped, but I can still see it on the ground.
3. It's snowed again.
can mean the same as 2 (especially in US English), but could also be used especially if you can't see the evidence (especially in British English).
Regards,
Mike
