I just want to point out that this revision is rather redundant, as the whole fizzling thing is due to you people using baking soda instead of bicarbonate of soda. These substances are not the same, as bicarbonate does not fizzle, and has a sparkling, glittering attribute, making it seem far more realistic as far as snow is concerned.

If your paste becomes yellow, it could be your glue that is wrong. Also, with Baking Soda the effect after a while on a shelf can result in yellow snow.

It would be nice if Bicarbonate was easy to get here in my country.

you can also add some white emulsion paint, keeps it white and also gives it depth
