Don't forget that if you're modelling snow, chances are it's winter, meaning pretty-well all of the trees will be leafless. While I've seen this done well, it would seem to me much more work to model convincingly. Also, in most populated areas, snow doesn't remain "white as snow" for long. While it's also possible to model this effectively, the normal dust that can collect on any layout isn't a good way of duplicating this appearance and may make your layout harder to keep looking presentable. 
On green foam, it isn't as noticeable, at least initially. I have seen some layouts, though, that have gone beyond that point. :o
