I wasn't aware of the meter exposure value. What you said makes sense in that context. Thanks! Maybe with some luck it will snow again this way and I can try it out for myself :) Aha!

Regarding your exosure question, it does sound counterintuitive but it's quite simple in fact. Your camera's meter exposes for 18% grey, meaning it picks an exposure That Will on average be équivalent to midtone grey. Since a winter scene is mostly white, the camera will try to bring it back to grey and therefore underexpose by default, hence the need to compensate by forcing it to "overexpose". Hope it makes sense. Thanks Joe. Regarding your exosure question, it does sound counterintuitive but it’s quite simple in fact.

I may be showing my ignorance here. If you overexpose 1-1.5 stops, won't that cause blowing-up of the highlights? How do you avoid that? Beautiful shots, Younes. I may be showing my ignorance here.
