Snow Golem does not leave trail of snow in all biomes
This report was resolved as "Works As Intended" because snow golems can only create snow trails in certain biomes and / or at certain heights and this report was about a biome in which snow golems do not create snow trails.
I created a snowman in my Survival world (seed: 1537751306) in x:255.7, y:32 z:293 (if you see in the game, I dug a hole in where coal vein was).
I expected the snowman to leave a trail of snow. But it did not. I killed him and created another snowman, but it also did not give off snow.
I also tried in a different world with creative mode. It still does not give off snow.
Edit: Not sure if this should happen, but it died by one shot of arrow by a skeleton and left 4 snowballs, not 8.
If there's any more information to be known, please ask me.

The bug
When spawning a snow golem in a warm biome, such as plains, they can still create a path of snow at y=67 and above. According to the wiki and MC-377, this shouldn't happen.
Code analysis
The following is based on yarn 1.15.1 names.
In the method net.minecraft.entity.passive.SnowGolemEntity.tickMovement() it has the if-statment for if a snow layer should be set. As MC-377 states, it checks for biomes but since Java Edition 1.7.2 added temperatures, it not longer uses biomes; it uses temperature. When the temperature goes below 0.8, snow will generate. Code wise, this would mean it's intended, but, it might not be (due to MC-377). Suggestion fix (if not intended), would be to check for biomes and temperature.
Shows that biome is in Plains. Snow Golems will only make paths in Snow related biomes, thus dupe of MC-377

I have tried this, and it seems that your issue stems from having mob griefing disabled.

user-f2760 This issue is (still) a concern in Minecraft 1.13-pre2. To add onto the original ticket, Snow Golems will place snow layers above and at y=67 in warm biomes, which they are not supposed to do according to the wiki and MC-377.

Also, what biome are you in? In some biomes, snow golems don't leave trails of snow (see MC-377).

Snowmen only leave a snow trail in snow biomes, and you are in a Plains biome. Therefore, this is not a bug.
I used to make a snow golem farm in extreme hills in 1.3.2. Was it changed in 1.4?
"As Snow Golems move, they leave a trail of snow on the ground, except in Plains, Beaches, Swamp, Mushroom Island, Desert, and Jungle biomes, and the Nether." ~From wiki. It is not a bug.
oh :/ I didn't know; sorry. How do I remove issue?
You can't remove issues. However, you can change the title of the bug report to something like:
Please close, not a bug
Snowman does not leave trail of snowto help the Mojang employees.
Closed as per request. Thanks!
Restored old title as it helps finding intended features.
It appears that the new Mob AI introduced in the 1.8 snapshots partially broke how Snow Golems make paths. MC-64840 is saying that Snow Golems now make paths in Plains biomes.
There also seems to be a bug with 1.11.2 with the snow golems as well. I'm currently playing on a server. It isn't leaving a snow trail and I have tried making different snow golems and changing biomes as well.
