no, it's morning frost or dew, probably leaning more towards the frost as that has more crystalline like structure to it.

using nuen's structure i'll show why as well:

From seemingly nothing we come from the air --> a morning dew/frost
Grasping at anything there
Covering and coating all that we can --> if you've ever been up before the sun rises on a cold day you will know that there is water/frost on your car, mailbox, sidewalk, grass, roof, etc...
Coloring the ground just like little pearls --> usually means frozen water
Crushed by the feet of men, women and merls --> frost covered grass/road/sidewalk
And as the temperature drops we do rise --> the colder it gets the more you see the frost on the ground
Never collected and balled like it's brother ... --> the brother of frost is snow, snow is balled, but frost is not as its structure is not stable enough to do so typically
And often annoying the windows of another --> this is a reference of frost on windows making it hard to see out of the windows, typically when driving
We are often a sign of what is to come --> a reference to weather meaning that it will be an overcast day meaning rain or snow is going to be coming soon
And yet it's in the shadows where we feel most at home --> in the sun frost melts and is no longer there, but in the shadows it stays nice
But even on sunny days you may find us on your lawn gnome --> this typically happens when it's a really cold day and even though the sun is out, the temperature is still really low
Come take a look at our crystal arms --> frost has a crystalline structure to it
For if you touch us we might bite --> frost will stick to your finger if you touch it, and it feels like a burn/bite
But your warmth will surely put us out of sight --> frost melts real quick to the touch, in almost an instant it will turn to water
And as the next dawn comes so shall we --> this is the one that keeps me from saying it is snow as not every dawn will there be snow, but just about every dawn there will be frost/dew.
