After David recalls having his in the yard, Luis also claims the shovel as being his missing one, with both pointing out the attributes that prove it's theirs. The two begin to argue until Maria comes along and reveals that it's got her name written on it: she let them both borrow it last year and they didn't return it. As she takes it to Big Bird to borrow, Luis heads to the hardware store to buy a new shovel (which David asks to use).

He's about to drop it when Gordon explains how it's not much like a real snowflake: it's brown instead of white, it's large, it's heavy, and there's only one of them. Big Bird considers what he's learned, and calls to David for some new supplies.

Everyone starts to celebrate (with Big Bird claiming credit for the snowfall) as Gordon announces the sponsors.
