Wow! indeed, would you by any chance agree to share the code for this material?
If it still looks good on our test objects, I would love to include it with our
sample materials here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Render/POV-Ray#Sample_Materials

my idea would be to switch the current snow material I made with this one and
rebrand the former one as "iceberg" after a few tweaks. Or maybe keep both snows
as one for close up and the other for backgrounds, depending on tests.

In any case, feel free to use/modify the materials already there,they only need
a few changes of size and coordinate system to be used outside of Blender's
povray exporter.
