I have always set my OM4t to +2 stops when shooting snow scenes and been
quite pleased with the results.  It is indeed a fact that solid white is 2
stops above neutral grey or a neutral color.  Do not forget the value of the
spot meter on the OM4t, but when shooting wildlife, I often do not have the
time for such detailed metering, thus I just set to +2 and fire away.  Good
luck.
