More like the snow I threw out? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whiter

'more like the snow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i threw out?' is the wordplay.
'out?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'out of' mean this).
'i'+'threw'='ithrew'
'ithrew' is an anagram of 'WHITER'.

(Other definitions for whiter that I've seen before include "''A ... Shade of Pale'' (Procul Harum)" , "A - - Shade of Pale (1960s song)" , "More like the snow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
