In the season 12 episode 8 of The Simpsons titled "Skinner's Sense of Snow", Springfield Elementary School is closed due to a heavy snowstorm and principal Seymour Skinner declares a snow day. However, after the staff leaves, Skinner realizes that he has accidentally locked himself and the students inside the school.
With no way to contact the outside world, Skinner attempts to keep the students occupied while the staff devises a plan to rescue them. Meanwhile, Bart and Lisa try to sneak out to enjoy the snow day, but find themselves stuck inside the school as well.
As the hours pass, tensions rise and Skinner struggles to maintain order among the restless students. When the heat goes out, the group's situation becomes desperate and they must rely on their own resourcefulness to survive the cold.
The episode is a humorous take on the classic "trapped in a snowstorm" trope, with the usual antics of The Simpsons family and the Springfield residents providing comedic relief to the tense situation in the school. The episode also highlights the leadership skills of Skinner, who must keep the students calm and organized in a time of crisis.
Overall, "Skinner's Sense of Snow" is a wintery adventure that showcases the resilience and ingenuity of The Simpsons characters in a crisis situation.
