I remember talking to Jimi about this over IMs one day...the quality of the parents effect the clearness and whiteness of a snow, but yes, you should see the "boa pattern" in the white. The darker yellow or muddier the color or pattern, the less quality the coloration/patterning of the parents...

I think anyway...it's been a while. Boa experts, please correct me if I'm wrong. =D
