as far as taking pictures of snow is concerned you have several choices. 1. use an incident light meter but shield the underside of the dome from the reflections off the snow while you take the reading.
2. use the sunny-16 rule. In the case of your picture you'd have had the right exposure at about 1/125 at f/16 at ISO 100. 3. use a reflected light meter and open up about 2 stops from the given reading to compensate for the above-average whiteness 4. use the histogram to expose to the right, then make an adjustment in your favourite image editing program 5. take what you've got and use the aforementioned program to set the white point based on the snow you want to be whitest Hope that helps.
