Looking at the snow

One evening in Ghent, recently, we were out in the cold taking pix of the reflections on the canals. Apparently the tourists do that a lot, there -The blowing snow got in the way! I took lots of photos of the travelling snowflakes, under various wind conditions. The ones that look like lines of machine stitching are my favourites - but rather dark. So let's see what can be done with Photoshop. Here's the original -
First, my usual adjustment - Levels, to get the photo brighter -
No, now it's tooooo yellow.

This is what happens with one click, Autocolour -At the time I didn't think to try adjusting the lighting on the camera (it was cooooold...!), so maybe Greyscale will be the answer? -
No, too dark. Back to the original...

Couldn't resist trying the Invert tool -
Those colours give much more of a "snowy" feeling than black and yellow! (But I'd like to pick up those three blobs on the left and move them a little to the right...)

With the Selective Colour tool, you can adjust each colour separately - this has been adjusted for yellow and the settings are magenta -25, yellow -50, black -75:You get much the same effect with one click, using Vibrance:
and to get it lighter, adjust Brightness (here it's -100; max setting is -150):
What I've found with these experiments, many of which aren't shown here, is that there's certainly more than one way to skin a cat in Photoshop.

After our photography (the temperature dropped to -10, we learned later), we went to the pub -
