I asked around for years to all who would respond and finally, Tommy Wolski a retired jock who rode in the East in the winter months gave me a logical reason; Paraphrasing "When it gets real cold, ice crystals form around small dirt pieces and "rooster tail" back toward the mid and back pack horses.
