Usually when it snows, the snow flakes come down in clumps. 5D Mark III | 50mm f/1.2L USM | 85mm f/1.2L USM | 100mm f/2.8L IS USM | 135mm f/2L USM | 8-15mm f/4L USM | 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM | 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM | 24-105mm f/4L IS USM | 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM | 70-200mm f/4L IS USM | 600EX-RT | 430EX II | 430EX | ST-E3 | EF 1.4x II | EF 2x III

Best weather is -5 ... -20 degree celcius with slight snowfall, individual flakes to be catched directly to UV filter. Sometimes I use a small needle to separate different flakes on UV. Yes, those snow clumps are a bit more difficult Ah-ha! My suspicion was correct, that the UV filter was functioning as an stage rather than a, well, filter. I have used an old sock, but it's hard not to get the fabric's texture in the shot, thus ruining it.
