which is why you meter several spots and think through the zone system where the color/tone will fall. Example gray post in snow is going to read atleast 3 stops different than the snow. Then you have to use your brain to set the gray post or the white snow onto the zone you want. Use EV mode for easiest mental conversion. White snow meters ev12 - A thinking man knows he has to open up 3 stops to get it white in the print. Gray post = EV9 , you could consider it ZoneV and let the snow fall on zone 8. Then everything else you do comes into play EI, development process, and print grade contrast.
