Unfortunately this is not possible: a snapshot LV holds copies of the *original* data the first time each part of the original device changes; if this process was switched off, further changes to the origin would appear as part of the snapshot and so you'd get a hybrid. You should either make the snapshot LV big enough to hold all the changes, or else take a complete copy of the volume elsewhere and use that.
