Snow is very bright at night with ENB

Basically the title

 

I'm using a slightly modified Rudy ENB

 

When I disable the ENB entirely, the snow looks normal, but I cant figure out what setting causes this

 

PS, I like nighttime in Skyrim to be basically pitch black, so the bright snow is kind of ruining that

 

Here's a shot in Morthal to show what I mean, everything is as dark as I want nighttime, except the snow

 

(note: sorry the screenshot is low quality, had to shrink it to reduce the filesize so I could post it here, still shows what I mean though)

 

Edit: Solved, Turns out there's a "Snow Shader" option when you launch the game through steam, turning that off fixed this issue

I mean, it makes sense. Even at night you're still getting some light, the snow is one of the few things able to still reflect it well. Living near rural areas, I've seen snow during dark nights, and it always stands out.

To a degree yes, but it just doesn't look good here, and if I can easily see all the snow, it ruins what I'm going for (absolutely no vision without a torch/candlelight)

 

Another note would be that Skyrim doesn't have nearly the amount of light pollution that modern society does, so nighttime would be significantly darker

On the contrary, the starry skies make more light without light pollution. That's why I mentioned the rural areas, there's less light pollution around farms and such.
