1. To have no vignetting. Your subject is close at the edge and there also is snow from full left to full right. Vignetting would make it a little darker at the edges (although this lens does not have much vignetting and it can be corrected in post).

2. To change how background is blurred so as to show snow better. So you closed down to f/11 and you set shutter speed at 1/125 enough to stop movement but not too high so as to keep ISO low enough . ISO has been chosen as a result of available light, f/11,1/125 and +2/3 Exp Comp.

1/125 shutter speed to get the falling snow to look the perfect falling.
ISO 200 because you picked 2 of the 3 exposure factors, now you have to do what you have to do!
