Snow Day (also known as Nothing Even Happens - Part Two) is the ninth episode of the first season. It acts as a sequel/epilogue to "Nothing Ever Happens".
Plot[]
It is snowing outside, and Kipper and Tiger decide to build the snowman, but the animals keep on ruining the snowman. Kipper and Tiger build it in a different location so the animals won't wreck it, but the birds keep on pecking on the snowman, Tiger tries to shoo them away, but the birds keep on pecking on the snowman's hat, which appears to be Tiger's. Kipper wants to make snow angels in the snow. But, Tiger wants to still build the snowman and he is upset that the birds pecked on the hat, Kipper invites Tiger to join in, and Kipper and Tiger have fun making snow angels. Tiger thinks that he and Kipper should go inside so that the birds and squirrels will go away. So Kipper and Tiger go inside for some hot cocoa, but while they are inside, the sun gets warmer and their snowman keeps on melting and getting smaller. When Kipper and Tiger go back outside, they see that the snowman has been wrecked. But, there are no birds around, so Kipper and Tiger decide to build the snow dog and they play in the snow in the snowy day. Tiger believes there is a warm wind coming. Kipper tells Tiger he hopes he was wrong.
The episode cuts to the present, taking place one week after the events of "The Bleepers", revealing that the whole episode is a flashback by Kipper, who was being interviewed by an unseen camera crew about his time in the snow after the events of "Nothing Ever Happens", stating that Tiger was wrong, so another snowstorm wiped out all of Kipper and Tiger's footprints that night, and the snowdog stood there for almost three whole weeks. Back in the flashback, the snowdog melts in the hot sun.
