Invisible rain / snow through glass

When there are no blocks above the player's head, rain and snow particles behind glass blocks become invisible. However if there is a block above the player's head, these particles will remain fully visible. The block may be right on top of the player or hundreds of blocks in the air, it just has to be on the same coordinate. This visual effect also occurs with stained glass, glass panes, and ice but not with beacons. It can be easily replicated by walking back and forth from under any block during a rain storm while also looking through glass.
