I feel so encouraged. Last year when it snowed I took pictures around my neighborhood and not one was worth saving. Not one with any compositional interest and they all just seemed flat. Here, a year later in Cades Cove everything I shot was picture post card beautiful... at least to me. I actually used this one of the John Oliver Cabin as my Christmas Card this year.
The only thing I really did different was to increase my exposure. The camera, because it sees so much white in snow, thinks there is too much exposure and therefore compensates by decreasing it. So even though your camera may be showing a balanced exposure it is actually too dark and the snow will come out looking muddy. Increase your exposure over to the + side. You may have to experiment with it but here mine was increased about a full stop. Any brighter and the roof the cabin was over exposed.
