I hoped to get some nice snow pictures, but conditions weren't right. Oddly enough, this was my favorite of the day.

I hope you are shooting in M and overexposing a stop or two.
Remember that your camera meter will "see" white snow and
try to give you an exposure to make it gray.

You do not need to shoot in M mode. Just set your EV up +1 or +1.5.

You might then need to remember to set it back when done as that setting persists on some vameras through power off.

That's true, but it is so much easier to change exposure in M mode than button through to exposure compensation.
You can make a dozen different "compensating" photos in M in the time you adjust with Exp. Comp.
