Does 牛奶 also mean snow? Translation in second sentence says 'white as snow' rather than 'white as milk'.

No, you're just running into our principle of "translate to something that makes sense in English." As far as I'm aware, no one says "as white as milk" to draw comparisons in English, it's pretty much always "snow."
