SNOWMEN: 

After a little zooming and panning all over the board, I noticed they ALWAYS come back to the same locations & positions:  12  Locations and 16 positions ... Also if you want to  "track them" once you identify the Locations they use,  you can scan the  Locations until you see one, then do no click right away on it : Watch the 11 other Locations for the "red dot" of the Snowmen cap ... Then click on this one and hover over the other one waiting for the next one to appear the delay can be from 0 to may 40-50 seconds between the 2 ... Generally,  it seems to be 10-20 seconds ...Just the time needed to do a circular cursory glance and by the 2 or 3rd  round-up, you'll see it appear ... You will notice there is some repetition but I am unsure it is a fixed route this time ... And contrary to the Hats & Zombies of Halloween, they seem to "change direction"   to-from certain repeat Locations ... Also for me tracking them worked best while totally zoomed out on City Map ...

It looks like they program a "choice" of destination between the Locations, but as any pseudo-random function there are  constant repetition, proving once more that "there is order in chaos" (^) ... It even seems like a clockwise / counter-clockwise pattern until you're jabbed out of it by a random jump ... But it may be as simple as they  go  a "random number" od "steps"  in a fixed route and reverse direction depending if click on the last one or the "before the last" of the 3  Snowmen displayed if you wait for a minute or so before clicking ...

If they are like Zombies & Hats the Locations & Positions will vary for each user. .. But I'd bet it is 16 positions  (2 bytes worth) or close to for everyone ... Here's my list (YMMV Your Mileage May Vary)
