Have you ever gone out shooting on a bright day with a nice blanket of snow and have difficulty seeing your viewfinder info? I went out on Saturday and i couldn't see hardly any info thru the viewfinder.. I should have had my

Oh yeah! Been there done that. I wear a trusty baseball cap. It's not a perfect solution as your hands have a hard time running the controls with that cap "beak" in the way, but it works to get a look. I am also usually using a tripod, so I can look in without touching the camera.
I would not recommend sunglasses if you can help it while setting up for a shot. Since they are correcting the exposure of the sun on your eyes, they will also alter your perception of what you are seeing in the viewfinder and the LCD screen. Polarizer sunglasses are even worse, as they will give you the perception that you have a polarizer filter on your camera even when you don't when you look thru the viewfinder. Then when you get home and look at the final pictures, you will kick yourself.
I like snow...just not nearly for this long!!! It's been a rough winter for sure!
