Snow Day Page #2

Synopsis: When an entire town in upstate New York is closed down by an unexpected snowfall, a "snow day" begins when a group of elementary school kids, led by Natalie Brandston, try to ensure that the schools stay closed by stopping a mechanical snowplow driver by trying to hijack his plow truck. Meanwhile, Natalie's big brother Hal is using this day to try to win the affections of Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in his high school, while Hal and Natalie's father Tom, a TV meteorologist, faces off against a rival meteorologist for weather coverage of the day's events.

# l've been waiting

for a girl like you

# To come into my life

# l've been waiting

for a girl like you

# Your loving will survive... #

What are you doing?

l didn't say you could come in my room.

Just get out of my room!

Hi, Nats. Anything out there?

l think so. lt's getting colder out.

The needle moved.

That it has. Maybe we've got

a little low pressure heading our way.

l'm going out.

- Good.

- Why good?

- He's been acting all weird lately.

- He has a lot on his mind.

You know, girls and...

Pretty much mostly girls.

- lt that why he has an ankle bracelet?

- Could be. Could be.

Boys Hal's age like to experiment...

Did you say ankle bracelet?

Well... lt's perfectly normal.

Oh, l forgot. l brought you something.

Mum gave me this when l started out

at the station. A good luck charm.

Maybe it'll work better for you.

Cool! Thanks.

Could you guys help me?

lt's stuck.

You get the head, l get the crowbar.

Don't tell me you don't see a pattern.

The bracelet, the break up...

The fact that we're both

big fans of whales.

- Whales?

- Yeah.

- Gentle giants. What's not to love?

- Exactly.

Hal, you're starting to scare me.

lf you wanna go out,

why don't you go with Patty Krone?

For some reason

she thinks you're cute.

l can't go out with a leg jiggler. Besides,

this thing with Claire is destiny.

- Are you catching any of this?

- Oh, yeah.

All right, you want proof?

Well, this is it.

Okay, here we go.

Breathe, breathe.

Easy, easy, nice and easy.

Who's the man?

You're the man. Come on.

Let's go. Keep it moving.

Well, here l come, baby.

Large and in charge, and totally...

..invisible.

l wish it was this easy.

What are you doing? Daydreaming?

- Just catching snowflakes.

- Did they taste good? lt's getting late.

Come on, scoot down.

Tomorrow is a school day.

- Don't rub it in.

- Love you. Sweet dreams.

You're on in two minutes, Mr Sunshine.

Oh... That's not supposed to be there.

That can't be right.

Can it?

Snow! And lots of it, folks.

This one almost caught us by surprise,

but we were right on top of it.

A fast-moving little system

coming down from Canada,

colliding with the warm flow

we've been experiencing...

Snow! !

Last night's record snowfall

grinding the area to a halt...

The following are closed for today:

Titan Tool & Dye,

the Carousel Mall...

..the Health Farm,

Fromlin's Corduroy Shop...

..and finally,

the weekly poker game at my house.

That concludes

the list of closings for today.

No, they can't do this to us.

Oh, and, l forgot one.

All schools are officially closed

for a snow day.

No school, no school, no school!

- Snow day...

- Snow day!

Snow day, snow day, snow day!
