I have been trying to get a picture of this rarity for the last year, and finally got it today. There are about three of these left in our neighborhood. Reading about them, it is a gene that some squirrels carry that gives them white fur, but they are not albino.
I cropped this in Elements 15, post processed -1/2 stop, clarity 10%, and used Haze Removal

Nice capture. We have the opposite melanistic gray squirrel here in western Massachusetts.
