  When you use particles you can use a multiple of actors to spawn these and pit them on differ t layers. One in front and one behind your other actors. This way the snow falls in front and behind the actors. Also making the one in the rear darker gives a depth effect.
  I have used this in one of my apps in development.

  Or if you don't want your game to look crappy with particle squares if you can draw a snow ball and then insert it in to the particles section and have particles as snowballs

  Search for "rain" from the creator. There's a nice animation for rain and snow.

  Hey guys,
  
  Thanks for the comments, but that demo for the snow won't work for my game, I need it to be smoother. Look at the game Bouncing Birds! it has a good idea what I would like.
  
  
  
  Go and look around 59 seconds into the clip.

  Use particles. Have a snowball image as the particle image, and set the size and speed to random. Youll be able to get the effect in the video no problem. You can also have more then one particle behavior if you wanted to have differnt snow in front and behind the character.

  Okay its working but when i complete a level, i have to restart the snow..so it takes a while for it to start snowing again, how do I fix it so when I go to level 2 it keeps snowing and I don't have to wait for it?
