Synopsis

While the Simpsons attend a French-Canadian circus, a freak blizzard hits Springfield, turning it into a winter wonderland overnight. However, Springfield Elementary School is the only school that did not declare a snowday. Some students from Bart's and Lisa's class show up while Skinner and Willie are the only faculty members to still be working. To pass the time, Skinner plays the ultra-boring "The Christmas that Almost wasn't, but then Was". While they are watching the movie, the snow piles up and traps everyone in the school. Skinner quickly determines that they will be unable to get out and will have to remain there for the duration of the storm. The kids complain about things they have to go home for, but Skinner firmly declares that no one can escape. The kids are forced to eat relish and mayonnaise. After Nelson fails to escape, the kids begin to go beyond Skinner's control. To maintain order, he dons his old army uniform. Meanwhile, Homer and Ned set off to rescue the kids, but while driving, they hit a fire hydrant, encasing their car in ice. In the middle of the night, Bart tries to dig a tunnel to get everyone out. He gets caught by Skinner, who orders Willie to destroy the tunnel. Willie refuses, and when Skinner insults him, he quits. Skinner decides to destroy it himself, but gets trapped in the cavein. The kids take advantage of this and take over the school. Skinner uses the school hamster, Nibbles, to get a message to the outside world. Nibbles makes it to Ned and Homer, which breaks the ice and frees them. Homer turns on the car's cruise control, sending the car going out-of-control and crashing into a salt silo. This releases a massive amount of salt that melts the snow around the school, freeing the kids.
