I liked this Haiku and loved the image of the blanket of snow...as the first comment says warm / cold (also makes my mind think of spring that is under the blanket of snow waiting to wake up...so for me this has a great seasonal element)
I don't agree with the sentiment / opinion of the last post
Since when is hue an archiac word? What word would you use to describe the depth or degree of a colour?
Perhaps there might be an argument to put forward that we are not specifically describing a colour in this poem so hue is not in keeping. But personally i think it fits really well into the poem. Snow is not just white. It has depth of colour depending on the light intensity and the deepness of the covering of snow. For me this word adds an image of what it would be like to look out on the world from under the blanket of snow.
Good read, nice first effort.
