I am naturally a lazy person.  I wanted to see if a texture could be used
to simulate snow in a snow globe.  I just posted the results in
povray.binaries.images with the subject "Snow Globe".  The model &
textures were created in Moray for Windows.  Creating the model &
textures took about 10 minutes.  Rendering the scene took about 25
minutes.

I used the following texture on tori oriented to each axis (X,Y,Z)...

#declare Snowflakes =
   texture  // Snowflakes
   {
      pigment
      {
         leopard
         color_map
         {
            [ 0.0     rgbft <1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0> ]
            [ 0.8     rgbft <1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0> ]
            [ 0.9     rgbft <1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0> ]
            [ 1.0     rgbft <1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0> ]
         }
         turbulence 1.0
      }
      finish
      {
         ambient 0.7
         diffuse 0.3
      }
      scale  0.025
   }
