This is the best that I came up with after incorporating many of the improvements that were suggested. I am pleased with it as it looks much better that the original and I thank all who offered such useful guidance.

Looks good, Andre! You've preserved detail in the foreground according to your taste while preserving the feel of a blizzard. Well done!
One more thing to try: Perhaps some Local Contrast Enhancement will bring out even more detail in the foreground without having to introduce more mid tones. I've never tried it but in theory it should work. -

Andre, I like the photo. Having 'lived' the storm with you in Ottawa I think it is a good capture. Better than anything I could get...it is a very difficult environment for photography. Anyway, it was much easier when the storm ended. I took this photo at 10 pm after snow blowing the driveway for the final time!
