Nate Wannemaker is a man with a passion -- for snow, in all its
varied forms, and for snow shovels, especially. From their supple curves
to their long handles, Nate cares for his shovels like family. Wife Kate
dutifully enables Nate's instinct for snow removal. Son Nate, Jr.
wants out -- out from the shovels, the snow, the cold.
Nate's chance to become a role model for his son is triggered by
a rival neighbor, The Bear, who has never met a flake of snow he hasn't
obliterated with gas-powered machinery. His zealous snow throwing crosses
a line and sparks a confrontation with Nate. As a result, Nate Jr. learns
a cold lesson in pride and family.
