Remember, the early bird gets the worm.
Waking up early will also increase your chances of capturing the snow during the golden hour after sunrise.

Use the Exposure Compensation Control.
This feature is available with iOS 14 or later.
Adjust the white balance.
“When editing your snow photos, play around with the white balance controls (temperature and tint).

Download an app likeAdobe LightroomorSnapseedto access more features like healing and perspective correction.
Find a background with contrast.
This will highlight the white of the snowflakes and make them more prominent.
If the background is too bright, then the falling snow is harder to see against it.”
Shoot, shoot, and shoot some more.
“If it is actively snowing, I recommend taking a couple of back-to-back versions of your shot.
This is because the snowflakes can be in different patterns depending on when your shot is taken.
I find that falling snow is sometimes more noticeable when shot on the zoom lens.
