Against a snow background, I usually expose about 1.5 stops over. If
exposure is critical, this is a good time for bracketing. /jmac

Your OM1, provided that the meter is working properly, will give you
pretty well all you need. Just make sure that you point the camera
at what you want to expose properly before you take notice of the
meter's reading. Once you have set the aperture and shutter speed
combination you can re-compose.
I used nothing but an OM1N for years before I won a 2SP in a raffle.
I lived in Germany for 3 years, a place where they have snow most
winters, and just over-exposed my winter shots by one stop. Your
camera is fine without any extra meters IMO.
