No - I don't think so.
While visiting Calgary Canada on a really cold day, I spent a lot of time ranging on snow.
The VL53L1X that I was using at the time, simply did not see the snow.
940nm light is absorbed by water vapor - it's why there is less 940nm light than other frequencies at the surface of the earth. It's also one of the reasons we chose that frequency.
The sensor can see a pool of water because the surface acts a bit like a mirror. But rain drops and snowflakes don't reflect the photons the way the water surface does.
