Seems like a good time to mention a few things about taking pictures in and of the snow.
First thing is to realize your camera tries to set the exposure by what it is seeing threw the lens. Your camera is always trying to expose a picture for a neutral grey. Don't ask why, it's a long explanation that I probably wouldn't get entirely correct anyway, it just is.
When your camera looks at a snowy scene it sees all that bright white and under exposes the entire picture. You get a grayish tint to the picture and it just looks kind of blah.
So to fix this, over expose these types of pictures. For snow if you over expose by +1 EV it will bring your snow back to white and give you a proper image.
Don't forget your other photography rules and things we have learned while trying to get a picture of the snow. Even though we don't get much here, it will still look pretty boring if you don't get a subject and pleasing background in your pictures.
Have fun and enjoy!

when your little one gets older you will take more. I took a bunch at the bus stop of the 50 kids having a blast in the snow.. then I took my 3 and their snowball fight. I took so many because I had it clicking away so that I could get that great shot of the snowball flying or smacking them in the face. I will delete alot of them.
