Exposure Compensation +1.7

I asked my Yahoo digital photography groups for some pointers on avoiding grey looking snow. I asked and the first answer was...

The short answer is set the Exposure Compensation to +1.5.

The long answer is to set your LCD to display
"Highlights", and then adjust exposure (using Exposure
Compensation if you like, or by using Manual Mode) until
the snow would blink (be "overexposed") if you cranked
in any more exposure. That is, increase exposure until
it blinks, and then back off one step.

So, I dug out my Nikon manual and adjusted the exposure compensation to +1.7. I couldn't figure out how on P mode to get it at +1.5, just +1.3 or +1.7. This is the result...



This is a vast improvement over the last one. However, I think the shutter was a little slow and it cost me in clarity.
