Clouds close to Camera

[WAS]

I have been working on some snow last couple nights (wee) but I notice something weird. I see none of the flakes near the camera, always from afar, even with global coverage. Does anyone know what's up, or how I can get my flakes near the camera for some DOF effects or to show the snow in the foreground as well as background?

Example of setup... only seems to be background snow.


In my cloud map preview it seems to have pretty even coverage at a nice scale

interesting.
Please break it down once you get it settled so I can see what you did in totality.

Here is the snow layer if you want to try. I just can't seem to figure out why the closest cloud plume is seemingly 500+ meters away

I played a little with an old file. There are older threads about this.
No image mask on this.

Thanks, yeah I was trying to do this by myself and noticed I had nothing close to the camera. And that is great distance gap you have. Going to have to take a look now. Oh well. Plenty of other stuff to attempt that I'll probably need help on anyway.

now I see this as was pointed out to me on facebook just now...

I did this three or so years ago using the lowest quality of a cumulous to emulate snow falling
