If you go to OZX/downloads/utilties there are some effect modifications removing clump particles.
I use these modded files because clumps look unrealistic as well as cause loss of framerates.
Hope this helps.
 
That should be changing into snow in winter at least here in the north. It's some how funny when dirt is flying while I run on snow banks.
