Air Date:

Plot:
Oliver hates snow and doesn't find anything splendid about snow. But he saw how splendid it was when the children had him as a snow engine.
PRO:
N/A
CON:
- 'They deliver goods and passengers when the roads are closed by deep snow' so what about Spring, Summer or Autumn?
- How is snow messy?
- Oliver is out of character.
- How did Toad derailed himself?
- The snowman would've melted.
This episode is filled with flaws, it's not a great episode, but it's in the OK category. But the first part of the script said that they deliver goods and passengers when the roads are closed by the snow, so the other seasons of year don't matter? Plus where was no mention of 'The Little Western'? Also they mentioned that Oliver thinks snow is messy, it's water and its clean, how is it messy? Plus this episode would've been suited better to Thomas or Percy as Oliver is not the right engine, he should be wise about snow. Toad's derailment is illogical as he was at the back and yet, he manage to slide next to Oliver. As I said in my 'Percy and The Snowman' review last year, the snowman would've been melted.
The episode is not bad, but it's OK, why, because anything is better then the writing from S13-16.
Rating: 3.5/5
