I happen to love them with or without the snow. Not only do they practically MAKE ME imagine being in the beautiful, miniaturized scene ... they also somehow remind me of the intricate scenes I've seen carved miraculously into the heads of pins.
Oooh, the Museum of Jurassic Technology has a small collection of "eye of the needle" miniature sculptures, which include a Goofy and an Napoleon.
