Use Photoshop.
There are several premade brushes for creating snow, rain, etc. A quick search on google will give you the download links.

Basic methods...
For snow:
Use a brush tool with approx. 10 or 20 pixel size and with a hardness of 0px
Apply this on a black background (or any color you needed) with a white foreground color.

For rain:
Use the same brush that we have used for creating snow (5px size and 0px hardness) in a new layer (Ctrl + N)
Put some dots on the black background with a white foreground color. Then apply Wind (Filter --> Stylize --> Wind --> (leave the settings as it is))

Now you have to rotate the layer 90CW (Edit --> Rotate --> 90CW)

That will give you some wind effect.
