I believe it's supposed to be blowing snow kicked up by the engines and/or tires.

Is there any way of reducing / eliminating this effect, while still being in "Winter"?
you dont see this stuff from inside the vc where most piloting is done, try to ignore it.I like the fact that seeing that smoke on the wheels reminds me that the runway will be icy, which means you can skid if you steer too hard on take off or landing.
