Heavy snowfalls hinder everyday life in a small town in the US state of New York . The school will be closed. Students led by 10-year-old Natalie Brandston are obstructing Roger’s cleanup to keep the school closed.

Tom Brandston, Natalie's father, appears as a meteorologist on television in silly disguise. He's fighting a competitor. Tom tries to convince his bosses that viewers expect reliable weather forecasts, but the managers disagree.

Hal Brandston, Natalie's 15-year-old brother, is wooing Claire Bonner, who is very popular at school. She ended her previous relationship the day before. Hal finds out that Claire is watching the television program his father works for. He finds his father, who is doing a live broadcast about the weather in the great outdoors, and sends his message of love to Claire directly to the television camera.
