I know an old WW2 vet who fought during the Battle of the Bulge. He said the Belgian locals gave the American troops the white sheets off their beds to use as snow camo. He also said that the German SS in their white snow uniforms were darn near impossible to see, he said it was like trying to aim at a ghost.
