It really can go both ways, so yes, I also think that context is the 
crucial thing.  Scale as you say, but also other clues,... some foam 
might suggest one thing, while windblown snow another.  This looks very 
convincing as boiling turbulent water such as migh be under a waterfall. 
  The last time I went on the "Maid of the Mist", a tour boat beneath 
Niagara Falls, I couldn't help trying to imagine how I would render the 
boiling, eddying water I saw there.
