Motion detection when snowing.

I have a question about motion detection when it is snowing. I'm looking at buying outside cameras and a doorbell but the motion detection question I have is when it's snowing.  Can it distinguish between people animals/motions and hard snow coming down?  I would hate to constantly get alarms when it's snowing. I use to run into this problem all the time on my cameras at work when I did security.. Thanks, Don H

    Currently I have a Outdoor cam SE at entry and a Floodlight cam at garage.  Both set with sensitivity at 40.  I haven't had an issue with snow.  The motion tracker will certainly capture and follow around snow bursts and blowing snow swirls/drifts but does not issue me notifications.
