What happens

On a mild winter day, Miss Beadle lets school out early, and the children head home just as a ferocious blizzard sweeps in. Many of them don't make it home.

The men of Walnut Grove form a search party to find the missing children, braving the storm. Not everyone survives. A gripping and emotional episode, one of the most memorable of season 3.
