First off, you know your camera's meter will be fooled. Shoot a couple of stops under, see what you get, and go from there...in manual. I used to meter off my hand extended towards the subject, set to those numbers, and I wasn't too far off (sometimes) ;-) ;-)
If the meter is going to be fooled (with its attempt to reach 18% gray) why would you underexpose. To bring a more realistic tone, I would think that you would make your exposure to account for even more light. Can you explain!
Black, shoot with less light. Snow- shoot with more light. It is not immediately intuitive.
