Synopsis

Fandom Wiki

It's March, and normally it doesn't snow, but Shizuka still wants to go skiing, so Nobita asks Doraemon to make it snow. Doraemon takes out his "Weather Machine", but finds it's broken and can't be fixed. Nobita says he'll fix it, but he kicks it and it works. It starts snowing, and Nobita is delighted. The snow is falling heavily, quickly piling up. Nobita goes to the empty lot and sees everyone having fun, feeling proud of himself. However, everyone doesn't know the snow is coming because of Nobita, and they look down on him. This makes Nobita very upset, and he tells Doraemon he needs to go back and make the snow stop. Doraemon says they're having a great time. Nobita returns home unhappy and orders the "Weather Machine" to stop snowing, but it snows even harder. He discovers something's wrong with his gadget and rushes to the empty lot to look for Doraemon, but everyone else has gone home due to the heavy snow. Upon returning home, he hears on the news that this is a rare heavy snowfall, causing traffic disruptions. Nobita sees some people on the street suffering from the heavy snow and feels guilty, so he picks up his tools and shovels snow on the road. Gian, Suneo, and Shizuka see this and think it's a rare thing. Nobita says it's his duty, and Suneo and Gian suggest they help clear the snow in front of their house as well. Nobita shovels again and again, until he collapses from exhaustion and realized he can't finish the job. He goes home to ask Doraemon for help. Doraemon finally comes back and Nobita hurriedly tells him what happen. Doraemon says a few words to him and then goes to check on the "Weather Machine". It turns out that the "Weather Machine" is broken, so the snow will actually fall anyway. Nobita is relieved to hear that. The news also comes out that the snow will stop soon. Nobita and Doraemon go to play in the snow again. Suneo and his friends find that the grass is covered by the snow and can't grow anymore. They come to ask Nobita if he wants to help shovel the snow. Nobita says, "I don't care." In the end, Nobita and his friends shovel the snow together.
