The bit about snow that always gets me is that you lose all the colour. I still have the most vivid memory of landing at Heathrow after three weeks in Russia in March and being almost blinded by how green the grass was after a landscape that was nothing but shades of grey and white.)
I've read that the early Antarctic explorers experienced the same effect. Apparently their eyes were absolutely starved for color after weeks of wandering in the frozen whiteness.
