Mr. Possible: I smell cocoa, I hear popcorn, and I know what that means!
Drs. Possible: (in unison) Possible Family Snow Day!
Mr. Possible: There's nothing like white-out blizzard conditions to force some serious family together-time.
(Kim blows into her hands)
Kim: Aren't your hands freezing?
Ron: (producing packets) Bueno Nacho extra hot five alarm sauce. Just keep 'em in my pockets and my hands stay toasty all day.
Kim: I thought they discontinued the five alarm sauce.
Ron: Oh, they did, but I got these babies before the MAN got wise.
Jim: You wear a lot of makeup.
Tim: More than the younger weather ladies.
Summer: Such CHARMING children.
Jim: Time to make slushies!
Ron: An army of evil zombie snowmen! Man, I always knew that's what would get me.
Kim: Why are they after me?
Ron: Everyone's after you. You should be used to it by now.
[At the controls of the weather machine]
Ron: I feel a heat wave coming on.
[Creates tornado]
Ron: Oops. Okay honest mistake, people.
Ron: Kim, there's five feet of packed powder on Dead Man's Hill. Will you join me in my quest for the ultimate ride?
Kim: Love the sledding. Not sure about the questing.
Dad: Either you're with us, or you're with the zombie snowmen.
Kim: Dad, do you still have those G-33 booster rockets you brought home from the lab?
Ron: Bad! Bad evil snow zombies!
Ron(of snowzombies):Okay. Sick and wrong!
Wade:Kim, every snowman in the tri-city area has come allive and gone on a rampage.
Ron:And they don't seem like jolly, happy souls.
Ron: Lake Wannaweep , everytime I think I'm out, she draws me back in.
Kim: Turn down the drama, Ron. Once we dump the water back into the lake, everything will be fine.
Ron: Really Kim? Place of evil! Place of evil!

| When Ron is sitting on the couch in the background, his red shirt is missing its cream stripes.
More of a nitpick than a goof--Why in the world is Rufus driving the truck when both Kim and Ron have taken (and in Kim's case passed) drivers ed? He is still driving when the weather lady and her cameraman get in and they definately should have their liscenses. It just seemed very strange to me.
Jim and Tim don't have any qualms about firing their ionization beam at the two snowmen holding their mother, despite the fact that it's already destroyed the top of the chimney. Wouldn't they be a little more cautious, rather than risking doing the same thing to her?
We see the snowmen stealing pipes, yet none of the snowmen carry a pipe.
^-- My best guess: While the corncob pipe is a common element of the "classic" snowman image ("Frosty" references it specifically), there might have been some worry that giving the living snowmen pipes would be seen as pro-tobacco. That, or the pipes were just an extra thing to animate.
Where did Snowy get the giant carrot in his nose? Mr. Possible stuck a normal one in there at the beginning.
When it shows Kim and Ron from the front as the weather machine first lowers from the sky, Ron isn't wearing any gloves.
When Jim and Tim fall from the tree they are in the tailgate part of the truck then in the next sceen they are in with Kim, Ron, Summer, and camera guy.
^-- They were probably just too worried what the toxic snowmen would do to her if they didn't act quickly.
How did the snowmen get the hats, the scarves, the carrots, the rocks or the sticks? And the same ones?
In the weather machine, when it rains frogs, one of them lands on Kim's head even though she is under a glass dome.
^-- In "Job Unfair" when Drakken makes it rain he and Shego get wet. Apparently that bubble dome is useless unless you put up the sheild. |

Summer: The salesman said it had only been used ONCE, for some attack on Canada.
Another reference to 'Job Unfair'.
Weather Machine
The weather machine is the exact machine used by Drakken in "Job Unfair."
Camp Wannaweep
It seems no matter where Ron goes, the curse of Wannaweep follows. In this case, if you can't bring Muhammad to the mountain...
DYN? #1
Dr. Possible is wearing his Little Rocket Boosters sweatshirt.
DYN? #2
The time on Kim's alarm clock is 8:27 AM. She was 27 minutes late (most schools' classes start at 8 AM).
DYN:#3
Ron's picked up Mr. Barkin's favorite phrase for when things get a bit on the bizarre side. When the zombie snowmen are advancing, Ron says, "Sick and wrong."
Re: DYN? #3
Actually, Ron says it first. He first says it in "Monkey Fist Strikes".
Kim: What is "monkey kung-fu"?
Ron: Other than "sick and wrong"!
none
The Possibles must have a thing for snowmen. Mr. Dr. Possible can be see building one in "Downhill."
DYN-4
Production code wise, this episode (218) comes after 'Go Team Go' (215), 'A Very Possible Christmas' (216) and 'Mother's Day' (217). In 'Go Team Go', Shego helped out her brothers on a mission. In 'A Very Possible Christmas', Kim's family helped her out on a mission. In 'Mother's Day', Kim's Mom helped her out on a mission. And now in this one, Kim's family helps her out on a mission. Pattern?
The Nut Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree
When Kim put up her website, she intended it to be used for babysitting jobs; but she ended up using it to do her "save the world" thing. Similarly, Jim and Tim planed to use their iononic blaster to "shovel" driveways, and ended up using it to "kill" the zombie snowmen.

None: Jim and Tim's Snowclearing Device
Very similar to the proton packs used in *Ghostbusters* to hold ghosts at bay in order for them to be captured.
[ ^-- As well as to snow blowers, which seems the more direct comparision under the circumstances. ]
None: Raining Frogs
The raining of frogs is a direct reference to the story of Moses in the Bible, where, at one point, it rains frogs.
Ron: Lake Wannaweep. Every time I think I'm out, she draws me back in.
A riff on an Al Pacino line from The Godfather: Part III:
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
More Info
None:: None
The whole scene with the giant snowman is a refernce to "Ghostbusters", from Jim and Tim's heat rays you the snowman itself (compare to giant marshmallow man in "Ghostbusters").
none: none
The whole episode is a parody of modern zombie movies (a genre started by "Night of the Living Dead" (1968)), but many plot points and scenes seem to be specific references to one particular movie: "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) More Info
N/A: N/A
It's not necessarily a Biblical reference. Actually there are many stories of it raining frogs. It's sometimes thought to be an urban legend, but it actually happens a lot. More Info
Nobody: The Snowmen
The snowmen monsters are similar to the ones found in a series of Calvin and Hobbes comic strips where Calvin creates "mutant snowmen". The strips are reprinted in a compilation titled "Attack Of The Deranged Mutant Killer Snow Goons"
Ron: They don't seem like jolly, happy souls...
References the popular holiday song "Frosty the Snowman", which makes the opposite claim of its title character.
More Info
None: Mall Attack
Among the many references to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead movie series, one of the main attacks takes place in a mall, much like Dawn of the Dead.
None: Snowman throwing itself on the Plower's windshield
A zombie does the same thing in Dawn of the Dead.

A zombie does the same thing in Dawn of the Dead.
None: Destroying the heads
One of the episode's subtler nods that isn't really emphasized, much like Romero's Living Dead series, the only way to "kill" the zombie snowmen is by destroying the head. (You'll notice that when Kim "kills" the first snowman during the first attacks she destroys the middle and the snowmen rebuild themselves. However, in all later attacks Kim destroys the snowmen's heads and they do not rebuild themselves)
none: none
The episode's title, "Day of the Snowmen" is a reference to George A. Romero's classic zombie movie, "Day of the Dead".
Mom: It's over...
As we know, the leading actresses in Capcom's Resident Evil zombie game series always saying this at the seeming end-of-story. And in this situation, it becames a routine that something big and surprising is going to happen, just like the show itself.
