Metaphor
Do we need to say more after you look at this sign? Without a word, it is the essense of the phrase, "a picture is worth a thousand words." You can easily understand the entire photo's message. Winter. Snowman and inside that cabin -- warmth and the glow of a content winter-dweller. It's great how one photo can symbolize an entire season. With the deer beside the snowman, the image also conveys the idea of serenity with nature. For all those reasons, I think this symbol is a good metaphor and an equally effective communication.

idealized - you are missing the word 'idealized'. Winter is seldom like this, even if you love the season. What this is communicating is a number of cultural allusions, as opposed to the reality of the season.
