    Thanks for translating.

    As far as I see, It looks like client side feature. Because I don't see where in the code, the snow layer is added. And with that said, the simple answer is no.

    Your welcome. :) It wasn't worded very well and (s)he said that they weren't good at English, so I decided I would translate it.

    He could spawn fireworks particles, they look similar to snow

    It's actually a client bug because even on realms servers you can't remove the snow, because if you do it will reappear if you rejoin. (That's caused by the client just blindly putting snow everywhere if it is a snow biome) This bug was introduced 0.15. You'll have to wait for mojang to resolve this issue...

    I don't want to ruin the fun but FireWork particles don't even exist in MCPE yet. :D

    Then just use any other particle that looks similar

    Lava and fire both use the "smoke" and "largesmoke" particles.

    btw: I think you have to say "aren't they" instead of "or" :p

    Why not just white colored dust particles?

    @imYannic this might lag too much and is an overkill. (Also the PE snowfall looks awesome)
    The client sided snow is a bug mojang also has in singleplayer. Its caused by biomes with 'snowAccumulation' - which PMMP can't send neither modify.

    use the snowshovel particle. it looks like the falling snow because it's naturally made when shoveling snow.

    As far as i know it is a "feature" for client to auto add snow
    to get away with it is to somehow announce snow removal packets??

    I would rather use the falling dust particle in white color. That one doesn't look so 'edgy'
    Snow removal Packets? xD LOL.
    What i talked about was not REAL snow blocks. I you use a mod that simply prints you out the block name/id when you touch snow, that appeared due to the snowAccumulation bug, it will say 'AIR', because is fake-rendered snow.

    EDIT: what should work is resending the chunks.

    A spam and lag of packets. But you could use FHiddenMine. Edit the source and overwrite blocks on sending.
