Oh, right, and now that I think about it, the logic here goes:
hand is correct.
hand is darker than snow.
so metering off hand is darker than metering off snow
so I want to expose as if the scene's darker than it 'really' is
so I want to let in more light than the camera thinks I need
so I want to open the shutter for longer, and that's what the + on the dial
does.
I kept on trying to work back and forth between the various flippings of
things-are-light -vs- camera just thinks they're light, and confused myself
no end.
Not from yesterday, not using OM bodies, completely OT, but for one of the
very few shots I have of me snowboarding, see:

Yes, it is the right way up. Yes, I have no style, and no, I didn't land
it..
