Next add some Noise ( Amount: 160 ) Distribution to Gaussian and check the monochromatic.
It will add the noise to our newly created layer black and white only see below.

Add a little blur of it by going Filter>> Blur>> Gaussian Blur the dialog box appear set its radius to (1.0) hit ok to apply it.

The next step is to highlight the white spots in this case on your keyboard hit ( Ctrl + L ) to bring up the Levels Dialog box bring right and left slider to inward like shown below to clearing the whiteness of our snow.

Change the blending mode of (Layer1) to Screen it will totally disappearing the pure black only display the white area it is now like a realistic snow.
