Summary

It was winter on the Island of Sodor, everyone was busy expect Percy, he was stuck in a snow drift, Thomas thought it wasn't time for a rest, latter Thomas was plowing near a bridge, then he got stuck in a drift. Rusty was next to him, he told Thomas about the worst winter on Sodor.

Skarloey was delivering some trucks, the fireman set off a emergency beacon to see if it was safe. They ran over it but nothing happened, so the driver and fireman waited and had hot chocolate. Meanwhile the winch wasn't working right, the trucks were going up, then stopped, the trucks going down snapped the coupling and plunged in the ravine causing a avalanche.

It landed on Skarloey and you couldn't tell he was there. The workmen soon dug him out, his warm engine caused a ice block to form. The driver and fireman were having hot chocolate as if nothing had happened. As soon as Rusty finished his story Gordon puffed by with the snow plough. Then the snow drift from the bridge landed on him and Thomas teased him about Skarloey.

Overall Thoughts

I stopped doing reviews on episodes because I didn't have much to say, so I'm gust going to do season overall thoughts. I really enjoyed this season, the only bad episode is Rusty & the Boulder, there are just so many errors on it. Busy going Backwards and Duncan Gets Spooked are two of my favorite episodes of this season. I just don't know what else to say, there isn't much to review about four minute episodes. Over all I enjoyed this season. The next season introduces lot's of "new" characters.
