Page "Lisa on Ice" Paragraph 6

The episode starts out with Lisa tricking Bart into believing it is a snow day by throwing a snowball at him which she made out of the ice in the fridge.

The scene was inspired by Scully, who as a child loved to sit and listen by the radio waiting to see if there was going to be school snow day.

Scully thought, because of his experience as a child, that there was nothing more disappointing than to wake up expecting a snow day, only to find out there was no snow.

The academic alerts the Springfield Elementary School students receive were based on those Scully received in junior high.
