I also think that should be accepted. I have reported it.

Should be "it snows".

'Il pleut' translates to 'It is raining.' If you want to translate word for word, 'Il' = 'It' and 'pleut' = 'is raining.' In French, there's no difference between 'It rains' and 'It is raining' because they're both in the present tense. The 'is' is part of the verb so to speak.

But yes, the reason the translation is 'is it' instead of 'it is' is because it's a question. They're both technically valid, it just depends on your intonation, whether you say 'It's raining.' or 'It's raining?'

I can see saying in disbelief one of the two: "It's snowing?!" or "It's raining?" but "It is raining or snowing?" would be a stretch for usual English.

il pleut ou il neige ? , more natural, with an interrogative intonation !

pleut il ou neige t-il ? more formal but often uses for writting !
