On a cold winter day, Bear puts on his nightcap and decides to take a nice winter's nap. However, it would seem that others in the Big Blue House have other plans for Bear. Ojo comes to Bear in alarm; concerned about the sudden disappearance of her duck friends from the Otter Pond. Bear makes her a cup of cocoa and tells her about migration. Treelo takes Bear outside, telling him there are feathers falling from the sky. Bear introduces him to the delights of snow. Bear finally settles down for the nap but is woken up by Pip and Pop. They take him outside, where all the kids have a special surprise for him. Tutter's been trying to take a nap too, but with all the noise, he finds himself just as awake as Bear.
In this episode, Ojo talks about her duck friends out at the Otter Pond. Duck characters were first seen on the program in the third season, with the introduction of Harry and his Mom in "Lost and Found."
This is the only episode where the light turns off once before Bear leaves the attic at the end, until the second part of the two-part "Welcome to Woodland Valley" special episode.
When this episode was first aired on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom as part of their Milkshake! block, the "UK version produced by Disney Channel" logo is shown after the closing credits and just before the Shadow Projects and Jim Henson Television logos.
