Snow Day is the ninth episode of the first season. In this episode, Kipper and Tiger play in the snow.
Plot
A snowstorm has covered Kipper's neighborhood, but Tiger announces that a warm wind is coming, meaning all the snow will be gone the next day, although Kipper brushes his claims off as nonsense, thinking he wants to have fun in the snow forever. 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 once again tells Kipper that the snow will be gone and the warm wind is coming and Kipper, still not believing him, hopes he is wrong all night.
The episode cuts to the present, revealing that the whole episode is a flashback told by Kipper, who reveals the end of the story, revealing that Tiger was wrong, explaining that the warm wind stayed away and another snowstorm wiped out all of Kipper and Tiger's footprints that night, and the snowdog stood there for almost three whole weeks and melted in the hot sun.
