I'd add some sparkling to the snow. In real world snow seems to sparkle when temperature is well below zero degrees (Celsius). For stills you could use spots in the glow channel. The image shows my settings for it. For animation the place of the sparkles should change according to camera position but I haven't been able to figure out how it should be done. If you have any ideas I would be glad to hear them. The link shows an image where I've used the snow-shader shown here. -HK
