00:00:00I can't decide which one I like the most, but this one here, this reminds me of Christmas
00:00:10growing up.
00:00:11Ah, the stellar dendrites.
00:00:12It's what most people think of when they talk about snowflakes.
00:00:14Six sided and perfectly symmetrical.
00:00:16Just like the star on top of our Christmas tree.
00:00:19Yes.
00:00:20Now this one, the fern dendrites, under the right conditions, humidity, temperature and
00:00:25all that, it's a little bit lighter, which makes it perfect for skiing.
00:00:28Because lighter snowflakes means powdery snow.
00:00:30I've talked about this before.
00:00:32I know.
00:00:33And you are an amazing photographer.
00:00:35Oh, thank you.
00:00:36I just hope they get some good vids at the auction.
00:00:38I'm sure it'll be a big success on Christmas Eve.
00:00:41Well, big enough to make all the repairs at the community center, starting with fixing
00:00:45the heater.
00:00:46Are you kidding?
00:00:47Who doesn't love snowflakes?
00:00:48Well, speaking of the center, I have to get to class.
00:00:50Okay.
00:00:51Have fun.
00:00:52See you later.
00:00:53Bye.
00:00:54Bye.
00:00:55I especially like how you captured the shaded side of the snowman on this one.
00:01:04Tom, this is great.
00:01:07Yes.
00:01:08Julie, I love the contrast here.
00:01:12The tree line against the sunrise, it really grabs your attention.
00:01:15Thanks, Deegan.
00:01:16I'm also impressed you woke up so early to take it on your Christmas break, too.
00:01:19My dad had to plow the snow up on Glacier Ridge.
00:01:22He let me come along.
00:01:23Well, nothing says dedication like getting up before the sun.
00:01:27And remember, everyone, your photographs say more about you than the image that you're
00:01:31capturing.
00:01:32How do you mean?
00:01:33Well, a photograph is a moment frozen in time.
00:01:36Without you, that moment can't happen.
00:01:38How you see it and what you see, you're at the heart of every photograph you take.
00:01:42You mean, like with your pictures of snowflakes?
00:01:45Okay, well, what about that?
00:01:47We all know that no two snowflakes are the same, but if we look closely, we can see that
00:01:52there are 35 different types of snowflakes that we know of.
00:01:55Really?
00:01:56Really.
00:01:57There are hexagons, columns, needles.
00:02:00Some are extremely rare and need precise weather conditions.
00:02:03But they're there if you're willing to keep looking.
00:02:06And that says a lot about you.
00:02:08Does that mean you're the heart of your snowflake pictures because you keep looking?
00:02:12Sometimes I think it's the photos that you haven't taken that can answer that question.
00:02:17Oh, I'm sorry, everyone.
00:02:20I'm sorry, everyone.
00:02:21They need this room for the wreath-making class, but we'll talk more about snowflakes next time.
00:02:24Yeah, like, will it start snowing in here before the heater gets fixed?
00:02:27I know, I know.
00:02:28Everybody, put it on your Christmas list.
00:02:30Maybe Santa will pull through and get us a heater.
00:02:32Bye, everybody.
00:02:43Julie, where's your ride?
00:02:46It's snowing pretty heavy up on Crescent Pass.
00:02:48My dad had to make sure it was clear, so he said he might be a little late.
00:02:51Oh.
00:02:52Hey, well, why don't you come with me?
00:02:54I'll take you.
00:02:55Really?
00:02:56Yeah.
00:02:57Thanks.
00:03:11Hey, Dad.
00:03:12Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
00:03:13I was just about to come get you.
00:03:15That's okay.
00:03:16My teacher gave me a ride.
00:03:17This is my dad.
00:03:18Hi, Noah.
00:03:20Hi, Tegan.
00:03:22You guys know each other?
00:03:24Um, your dad and I grew up in Willow Creek together.
00:03:28It's been a while, though.
00:03:30It is, yeah.
00:03:33Why are you guys acting so weird?
00:03:35What? No, sweetie, no, we're not acting weird.
00:03:38It's just been a long time, that's all.
00:03:41Yeah.
00:03:43How was your class?
00:03:45Great.
00:03:46Can I put my stuff in the back of the car?
00:03:47Uh, yeah.
00:03:48No peeking.
00:03:49Okay.
00:03:50Is it my imagination, or is she being pretty tight-lipped about that class?
00:03:55Christmas is coming.
00:03:57I could take a hint.
00:04:01Okay, well, I better get going.
00:04:03Hey, how's your dad enjoying retirement?
00:04:06Oh, well, he's loving the warmth, but I think around this time of year, he misses the snow.
00:04:10That's nothing like a white Christmas.
00:04:12But he's very happy you came back and took over the family business.
00:04:15Yeah.
00:04:16Yeah, well, it was good timing.
00:04:18Turns out I was never very good at sitting behind a desk.
00:04:21Really?
00:04:22I thought what you did was very important.
00:04:24What was it, atmospheric science?
00:04:26Yeah, it's just a fancy way of saying weatherman, really.
00:04:30No, when I saw your dad was stepping down, this, uh, this felt right.
00:04:34Well, I'll tell him you said hi.
00:04:37Well, Merry Christmas.
00:04:39You too. Merry Christmas.
00:04:42Merry Christmas.
00:05:12Hello?
00:05:33Hey, quick question.
00:05:35Do you have time to swing by the gallery tomorrow?
00:05:37Yeah, sure, why?
00:05:39Somebody wants to meet you.
00:05:41Who?
00:05:42Well, does the name Calvin Garrett ring any bells?
00:05:44Calvin Garrett? Isn't that the guy that runs the ski resort up on Bear Tooth?
00:05:48Yes, and the guy who collects art from all over the world. That guy.
00:05:51Why does he want to meet me?
00:05:53I don't know. All they told me was that the guy stays in Bear Tooth for the holidays,
00:05:56but apparently he has a flight into the city tomorrow afternoon, and he's not going back until Christmas Eve.
00:06:01So, whatever that means, I will be there first thing.
00:06:04Thanks, Tegan.
00:06:05Thanks, Charlotte.
00:06:11Thanks.
00:06:23Good morning.
00:06:24Oh, hi.
00:06:26Hi.
00:06:27Hi.
00:06:28Uh-oh, I know that look.
00:06:30The one that says you're a million miles away.
00:06:32Oh, sorry, I'm just headed to a meeting at the gallery.
00:06:35Oh, yeah?
00:06:36Yeah.
00:06:37You know, I took Julie over there the other day. We saw your snowflakes.
00:06:38Oh, really?
00:06:39You've always been a great photographer, Tegan. Those are really special.
00:06:42Oh, thank you. But you always encouraged me to keep up with the photography.
00:06:46Well, I would say that you've taken a step well past our high school yearbook pictures.
00:06:49But you were there from the beginning.
00:06:55Well, you have a meeting to get to.
00:06:57Right.
00:06:58I should get back up to Crescent Pass.
00:07:00Oh, how's the weather up there? Is it snowing?
00:07:02Yeah, it's coming down pretty hard, actually.
00:07:04It looks like there's another front on the way.
00:07:06Could be a big one.
00:07:07How big?
00:07:08Uh, not sure just yet, but the humidity's a lot higher than normal, and the wind's really picking up, so...
00:07:14Say, 30, 40 miles an hour?
00:07:17Somewhere in there, yeah.
00:07:19Huh, and what about the snow?
00:07:21Uh, it's like 50-50 right now.
00:07:23Okay, but the chances are going up?
00:07:25Yeah. Why the sudden interest in a snowstorm?
00:07:28Oh, oh, just curious.
00:07:31Well, it should stay up in the higher elevations.
00:07:33Won't even make it down to Willow Creek, so there's nothing to worry about.
00:07:36Oh, okay.
00:07:38Well, I should get going. Drive safe.
00:07:40Thanks.
00:07:41Bye.
00:07:42Bye.
00:07:52These are remarkable, Tegan.
00:07:55My assistant was right.
00:07:57She was here the other day, said I needed to see them for myself.
00:08:02Thank you, Mr. Garrett.
00:08:03How do you do it?
00:08:05They're so small and delicate, but your photographs are so vivid.
00:08:09Well, nothing fancy, just a dark wool cloth and a macro lens.
00:08:13It's the only way to catch the snowflake as it falls and take a picture before it melts.
00:08:17Very inventive.
00:08:19And cold.
00:08:21When I was a boy, I used to try and catch snowflakes on my tongue.
00:08:24I used to do the same. I used to imagine they tasted like clouds.
00:08:28Do you know how many different kinds of snowflakes there are?
00:08:3035. Let me know.
00:08:33But I only see 34 photographs here. There's one missing.
00:08:37The 12-sided stellar dendrite.
00:08:40It's probably the rarest snowflake there is.
00:08:42Of course, finding it requires very specific weather conditions.
00:08:46The wind, the temperature, altitude.
00:08:48You really know your snowflakes.
00:08:50So do you.
00:08:51That's why I think that if anyone can find it, you can.
00:08:54And if you do, I'll bid for the whole collection, all 35.
00:08:59What?
00:09:00And when I bid on something, I never lose.
00:09:02Oh, Mr. Garrett, that's very generous.
00:09:04Charlotte also tells me the community center is in need of some pretty serious repairs.
00:09:08The heater's been on the fritz for a couple weeks now, among other things, yeah.
00:09:13Then I would be happy to also make a donation to the center.
00:09:16Whatever it takes to get everything fixed.
00:09:19Thank you. I don't know what to say.
00:09:22But the auction is in less than a week. That doesn't really give me a lot of time.
00:09:28You said that you imagined that the snowflakes tasted like clouds.
00:09:32Me, I tried to catch them because I thought there was a tiny touch of Christmas magic in each one.
00:09:38Could be there's a little Christmas magic out there waiting for you.
00:09:42What do you say?
00:09:46I say I will see you here on Christmas Eve.
00:09:49Wonderful.
00:09:50Deegan, Charlotte.
00:09:58Deegan, this is incredible. I mean, this is Calvin Garrett.
00:10:03Plus, he loved your snowflake. Do you have any idea what a difference this could make?
00:10:07Believe me, I know.
00:10:08Okay, but if this stellar denture thing is so rare, it's a stellar dendrite.
00:10:13Right. How are you going to find it by Christmas Eve?
00:10:16Charlotte, trust me. If that snowflake is out there, I'm going to do everything I can to find it.
00:10:21So, wish me luck.
00:10:23Good luck.
00:10:27Hi, Suzanne.
00:10:28Hi. I hope I'm not too early. I'm really looking forward to showing you my photographs for the auction.
00:10:33Our meeting. Yes, absolutely.
00:10:35Is everything okay?
00:10:36It's fine. No, yeah. Just a friend of mine, she's off chasing snowflakes.
00:10:41Snowflakes. Why?
00:10:42Well, if she finds the right one, it will help make the auction a massive success.
00:10:47Not to mention a lot more people will know about our photos.
00:10:49Let's chat inside, shall we?
00:10:51Snowflakes. Really?
00:10:57Thank you.
00:10:58Thank you.
00:11:00Thank you.
00:11:26Suzanne, everything okay?
00:11:28Yeah, fine. Just enjoying the view, taking pictures.
00:11:32Right. Yeah, it's a good place for it.
00:11:35Yeah. I remember you said you were heading up to Crescent Pass.
00:11:38Figured you'd be coming along this way on your way back.
00:11:40Uh-huh. Well, here I am.
00:11:43Here you are. So, how are things looking up there? Otherwise?
00:11:47Yeah, it's good. The road should be clear until the new front comes through, but it is going to pack quite a punch.
00:11:53That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:11:55Ever since we talked, I started following the storm on the weather app.
00:11:59Following it? Why?
00:12:00Well, heavy winds, rising humidity, big chance of snow.
00:12:04You know, look. This storm has the perfect atmospheric conditions to form a 12-sided stellar dendrite.
00:12:10What?
00:12:11It's a snowflake. A very rare snowflake. And I need to get a picture of it.
00:12:15Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
00:12:16If I can just get to the center of the storm, even for a few minutes, it would be the best chance I've ever had.
00:12:20Do you have any idea how dangerous that would be? You can't go up there looking for some snowflake.
00:12:24I can. If you come with me.
00:12:28You weren't just here taking pictures, were you?
00:12:30Did you?
00:12:31No, no, no. You were waiting for me. This is like that Christmas that you talked me into sliding down Crystal Peak.
00:12:35That was fun.
00:12:36No, it wasn't fun. I broke my arm.
00:12:38It was a great story.
00:12:39It's not going to be one of our great stories, did it?
00:12:41I need you to navigate and help me find the center of the storm.
00:12:45This is what you're good at, Noah. You got a degree in atmospheric science. That's why you left town.
00:12:49You're right. I know a lot about this stuff, which is why I should check that out.
00:12:51Yep. It's perfect conditions. I told you.
00:12:53It's perfect conditions for what might be the biggest storm we've had in years.
00:12:55I don't understand.
00:12:56You're right. I don't understand. What is so important about this snowflake?
00:12:59Those pictures you saw at the gallery, there's a snowflake missing.
00:13:03And if I can get it by Christmas Eve, this auction is going to help a lot of people in this town.
00:13:07And that makes the snowflake very important to me. So I have to try.
00:13:11With or without you.
00:13:24Fresh out of the oven.
00:13:26I thought I smelled gingerbread.
00:13:28Thanks, kiddo. These look delicious.
00:13:30Is everything okay?
00:13:32Yeah, I'm just planning out my schedule for tomorrow.
00:13:35I know what our weather map looks like. Is that storm coming to Willow Creek?
00:13:40No. No, it's going to keep heading west.
00:13:42And lucky for us, because we don't want anything to do with this one.
00:13:45Tegan sent the class an email.
00:13:48She's going up into the mountains tomorrow to find the snowflake.
00:13:52So she had to cancel.
00:13:54I'm sorry to hear that's for you, and I hope you enjoy your class.
00:13:58It's okay. It's for a good cause.
00:14:00Yeah, it is.
00:14:02You and Tegan were like a thing back then, right?
00:14:06What? Where did that come from?
00:14:09Before, when you said you were friends. You both just got this look.
00:14:13What look?
00:14:15This look where you didn't want to talk about it because if you did, it might get weird.
00:14:20It was a long time ago, kiddo.
00:14:23What happened?
00:14:25Nothing happened.
00:14:27I just went away to college, and she went away to college.
00:14:30We both kind of got wrapped up in our lives and started drifting apart.
00:14:34Before long, we lost touch.
00:14:37Then you met Mom.
00:14:39Yeah, and not long after that, you came along, and that was the best day of my life.
00:14:45I'm glad we live here now, though. You and Tegan can be friends again.
00:14:52She's going to be okay, right? You know, with the storm and all.
00:14:56Yeah, she's going to be just fine.
00:15:14I love you, Tegan.
00:15:45I can't talk you out of this.
00:15:47I'm afraid not.
00:15:49And you are going in that.
00:15:52Yeah, why not?
00:15:54Because the winds up there will blow this right off the road.
00:15:56I'll be okay.
00:15:58Okay won't get you through 40-mile winds and zero visibility.
00:16:01Don't tell me you're worried about me.
00:16:03Julie happens to think that you are a very good teacher.
00:16:07I just think you're a little stubborn.
00:16:10Well, can it be both?
00:16:13All this for a picture of some snowflake.
00:16:15All of this for what's important to me.
00:16:18This town, the people in it, Christmas.
00:16:21Isn't that reason enough?
00:16:26All right.
00:16:28If we are going to do this.
00:16:30We?
00:16:32We are going to get a few things straight.
00:16:35Okay.
00:16:36If the storm is what I think it's going to be, it's going to get pretty dicey up there.
00:16:39Oh, yeah.
00:16:41We turn around.
00:16:42We turn around.
00:16:43Okay.
00:16:44No discussion.
00:16:45No debate.
00:16:47Fine.
00:16:48What else?
00:16:49We are not going in that.
00:16:51Well, how are we going to get there?
00:16:56Grab your stuff.
00:16:57Follow me.
00:17:05We're going in that?
00:17:07Uh-huh.
00:17:08I think we're getting through any storm imaginable.
00:17:10It's a little overkill, don't you think?
00:17:12What are you talking about?
00:17:14We're not driving to the North Pole.
00:17:16Nope.
00:17:17But we could.
00:17:18What, and stampede all the Santa's reindeer?
00:17:20We could be a Grinch the entire time.
00:17:22Never mind.
00:17:24Step right up.
00:17:26Okay.
00:17:29There you are.
00:17:30Thank you.
00:17:31Hey, Dad.
00:17:32Hey, sweetie.
00:17:35Oh, no, no, no.
00:17:37I made some sandwiches and stuff for your trip.
00:17:39I also packed the rest of the gingerbread cookies, too.
00:17:41Thank you, honey.
00:17:43Charlotte, what are you doing here?
00:17:44Noah called.
00:17:45Julia and I are going to hang out while you two are gone.
00:17:47Thanks again, Charlotte.
00:17:48We're going to have so much fun.
00:17:50I'm going to help get ready for the auction.
00:17:52Practically the whole town is going to be there.
00:17:54Because of your snowflake?
00:17:55I'm sorry, what?
00:17:57News might have leaked about what you two are doing.
00:18:00Charlotte.
00:18:01I just had a really good feeling about this time.
00:18:05I hope you find your snowflake.
00:18:07Thank you, Julie.
00:18:08Okay, well, you have fun, Carol.
00:18:11All right, drive safe, you two.
00:18:13Bye.
00:18:14Are you ready for a little dashing through the snow?
00:18:17I'm not sure how much dashing there will be, but lead the way.
00:18:26The snow is falling
00:18:30Christmas is calling
00:18:32Wrapping gifts with a bow
00:18:36Oh, it's been one long year
00:18:41Since I felt your cheer
00:18:45So laugh with me
00:18:48It's in the Christmas tree
00:18:52How good the night can be
00:18:57So, when was the last time you were in a snowplow?
00:18:59It's been a while, since way before my dad retired.
00:19:04Probably hasn't changed much.
00:19:06No.
00:19:11Tonight?
00:19:12No. Yeah, good thinking.
00:19:14It's great.
00:19:15Yeah, my dad's plow didn't have a radio.
00:19:18Huh.
00:19:19Are you kidding?
00:19:22I think this is better.
00:19:30I'd love some more poinsettias up front, please.
00:19:32Thank you.
00:19:35Oh, that looks great.
00:19:36Oh, come with me.
00:19:40So, a lot of this is a little uneven.
00:19:42Do you mind just helping out?
00:19:43It's perfect.
00:19:45Okay.
00:19:49Suzanne.
00:19:50Charlotte, hi.
00:19:51It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas.
00:19:55It is.
00:19:56Oh, it's my favorite time of year.
00:19:58That special feeling you get when you just know all your Christmas wishes are about to come true.
00:20:04Was there something you needed, or?
00:20:05These are your friend's pictures.
00:20:07The snowflakes you were telling me about.
00:20:09Yes, Teagan Ainsley.
00:20:11They're lovely.
00:20:12Yeah, she's amazing.
00:20:13She takes photos all year round, and she teaches at the center, too.
00:20:16But these snowflakes, they're sort of like her holiday tradition.
00:20:19But she has so many for the auction already.
00:20:21Why does she need another one?
00:20:23Listen, when Calvin Garrett asks you to find a particular snowflake, you go out and find it.
00:20:27Calvin Garrett?
00:20:28The guy with the huge art collection?
00:20:31Yeah.
00:20:32He likes snowflakes.
00:20:35Interesting.
00:20:37Well, I am reviewing your photos that you submitted, and I'll let you know if any are a fit for the auction.
00:20:41Thanks.
00:20:42And I may still have a few others to show you.
00:20:45Well, we're running out of time.
00:20:46Yeah, these won't take long.
00:20:48Merry Christmas.
00:20:50Merry Christmas.
00:20:58Shining down into your heart
00:21:02Doesn't matter who you are
00:21:05See those clouds up there?
00:21:08Uh, snow clouds?
00:21:09You know what that means?
00:21:10That degree in atmospheric science is finally paying off?
00:21:13Bingo.
00:21:14Hey, I had it in the right direction.
00:21:15Although I'm sure that fancy weather up here comes in handy sometimes, too.
00:21:18Well, last I heard...
00:21:58...
00:22:00...
00:22:02...
00:22:04...
00:22:06...
00:22:08...
00:22:10...
00:22:12...
00:22:13Is everything okay?
00:22:14Yep, everything's fine.
00:22:15I did just have a very interesting conversation about your snowflake.
00:22:19Uh, what do you mean?
00:22:20This, uh, photographer came by, Suzanne Blanchard. I don't think you know her.
00:22:25What about her?
00:22:26Well, she's been trying to get her stuff into the gallery for quite some time,
00:22:29and she seemed a little too interested in snowflakes,
00:22:32especially when she learned that Calvin Garrett is a major fan of your photos.
00:22:36Well, she's a photographer. I'm sure it was just a professional interest.
00:22:39No, no, the look on her face was definitely not professional.
00:22:43What do you think she's gonna do?
00:22:44I don't know. Maybe nothing, but just...
00:22:47Problem?
00:22:48Oh, there's a photographer taking interest in my snowflakes.
00:22:52Oh. Can you blame them? I mean, pictures are beautiful. Who doesn't love snowflakes?
00:22:58Yeah, well, if we don't find this one, a lot of people are gonna be disappointed.
00:23:03Well, then I guess we just have to find it.
00:23:06Yeah, I...
00:23:07So that's what Charlotte meant by having a good feeling.
00:23:11This time, right?
00:23:12But now I have people's hopes up.
00:23:15I don't know why I thought this year would be any different.
00:23:18Look, just because you haven't found it yet doesn't mean you should stop believing it's out there.
00:23:23You really think so?
00:23:24Yeah.
00:23:25Look, when you study the weather as long as I have, you start to see things that you never thought possible,
00:23:30like air and ice and snow all rolled up like burritos.
00:23:35You study long enough, you start to believe anything's possible.
00:23:42Oh, um, we have to stop.
00:23:44What? Why?
00:23:45Uh, I just have to check something. It won't take long.
00:23:48Uh, yeah, okay. Uh, Crescent Pass is just a few miles up.
00:23:52Perfect.
00:23:53Great.
00:24:15Oh!
00:24:36I took that up on Glacier Ridge.
00:24:38Hi! I didn't know anyone else was here.
00:24:41Just me. Class is cancelled.
00:24:44Oh, shouldn't you be out doing all that tis the season stuff?
00:24:49I need to finish my dad's Christmas present.
00:24:51Teagan said it was okay for me to be here.
00:24:54You know, speaking of Teagan, I saw some of her pictures at the gallery. Those snowflakes are incredible.
00:25:00She calls them tiny pieces of art falling from the sky.
00:25:02Oh. Well, she knows what she's talking about.
00:25:06But, um, they're so small. I can't imagine how she does it.
00:25:12Well, she uses a 90mm macro lens with a polarizing filter to help cut down on the glare.
00:25:18And that's it?
00:25:19You have to do it really quick. You know, before they melt.
00:25:23That doesn't sound so hard.
00:25:43What's this do?
00:25:45Yeah. Feels good.
00:25:47Good. Looks like the wind's picking up.
00:25:50Well, with all due respect to your mountain man instincts, I think we can do a little bit better than that.
00:25:55What are you doing?
00:25:57This is a portable weather station.
00:26:01It monitors temperature, humidity, wind speeds...
00:26:04No, I know what it is. I'm asking what you're doing with it.
00:26:07Well, remember how I said that snowflakes rely heavily on atmospheric conditions?
00:26:11The closer we get to the storm, the closer we get to finding the one that we're looking for.
00:26:16And this thing is going to help us find it.
00:26:19Well, the reason every snowflake is different is because they each follow their own pathway through the sky.
00:26:23Different paths, different shapes.
00:26:26Okay.
00:26:27The thing is, a 12-sided snowflake is actually two 6-sided snowflakes fused together on the water.
00:26:34Actually, two 6-sided snowflakes fused together on the way down.
00:26:38It's totally random.
00:26:40What are the odds of that?
00:26:41Pretty small.
00:26:42That's what makes them so rare.
00:26:44I mean, they have to be on the exact same path to find each other.
00:26:49I had no idea Mother Nature was such a matchmaker.
00:26:53I never thought of it like that.
00:26:56Anyway, the point is, by monitoring conditions, we can keep an eye on changes and still everything is just right.
00:27:03Makes sense.
00:27:04Well, if you don't have any objections...
00:27:08Be my guest.
00:27:24The data's downloading on my cell phone.
00:27:27It won't be too long.
00:27:28Great.
00:27:29Well, we can just enjoy the view while we wait.
00:27:32Okay.
00:27:36You really missed it here, didn't you?
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:39That's why I moved back, actually, after we lost Sarah.
00:27:44My wife, I just really wanted a place where Julie could grow up and love her home as much as I did.
00:27:50When I saw your dad was retiring, I couldn't think of a better place.
00:27:55She's a really good kid, Noah.
00:27:58Do you know how many stories Julie told me about you?
00:28:01How many times I wanted to just come say hi.
00:28:06I wish you had.
00:28:10What if her memories weren't the same?
00:28:14They meant so much to me.
00:28:16I didn't want to lose them, too.
00:28:19They meant a lot to me, too.
00:28:24Well, I should take pictures while we're waiting.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:32Put out your hands.
00:28:34What's this?
00:28:36Just keep it flat and try not to move.
00:28:41Okay.
00:28:46Ah, so that's how it's done.
00:28:49Just a few more.
00:28:52Take your time.
00:29:02The dad is coming in.
00:29:06Oh, you got a snowflake by your eye.
00:29:11No snowflake falls in the wrong place.
00:29:14What?
00:29:16That's something my mom used to say.
00:29:19Does she drink snowflake soup?
00:29:22She used to.
00:29:26I'm sorry, Tegan. I had no idea.
00:29:30How could you?
00:29:32We should get going.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:55The equipment's still not in the range of the storm, so the reading's not 100%.
00:29:59But judging by the way the humidity's going up and the temp's dropping, you're right about the size of this thing.
00:30:04Uh-huh. You ready to turn around?
00:30:06Are you kidding? These conditions just keep getting better.
00:30:09Which I take it means there were no 12-sided snowflakes in that last batch of pictures.
00:30:13No, not even close.
00:30:15Okay. Well, maybe Mother Nature's just trying to find the perfect match.
00:30:19Whoa.
00:30:21Feels like the wind's really picking up, too.
00:30:23I don't know. You really are one with nature.
00:30:26I wouldn't go that far.
00:30:28So how does it work? You look out in the distance and the ghost of Christmas weather speaks to you?
00:30:38You know what? There's something I want to show you.
00:30:41What?
00:30:42It's just a little detour. It won't take long.
00:30:45It'll be fun.
00:30:47Okay.
00:30:53Oh, my God.
00:31:23Oh, my God.
00:31:42I thought I'd seen every road, every trail in these mountains.
00:31:46But this? I have never seen this.
00:31:49Not many people have.
00:31:52Where are we?
00:31:54Follow me.
00:32:09Wow.
00:32:12What is this place called?
00:32:15I just call it Max's Mountain.
00:32:18Max has been your grandfather?
00:32:21There was a guy who knew his way around this part of the world.
00:32:24I remember. He was such a wonderful man, and he always told the best stories.
00:32:28Yeah. That's what got me interested in the weather, actually, his stories.
00:32:31What do you mean?
00:32:33Well, the first time he brought me up here, it was almost Christmas, and I was just a little kid.
00:32:37But even then, I had this feeling like he was sharing something really special.
00:32:42He always said you can see things much more clearly from up here if you know how to look.
00:32:47It was years before I realized that he was talking about a lot more than just tracking a storm.
00:32:51Your grandpa was a storm tracker.
00:32:53Well, not officially. Whenever there was a blizzard or something up here, he'd head off to get a closer look.
00:32:57Isn't that dangerous?
00:32:59He did have a couple close calls. In fact, that's how he found this place, actually.
00:33:02Got caught in the whiteout, had to tuck in for the night, and when he woke up,
00:33:05a few feet from the edge with a view as far as you could see.
00:33:08That's amazing.
00:33:10He also claimed to be able to smell when a storm was coming.
00:33:13Come on.
00:33:15One sniff, and all he needed was a map and a full tank of gas, and he'd be good to go.
00:33:19That's not a thing, is it?
00:33:22It sounded cool when I was a kid.
00:33:25Still kind of does.
00:33:27So what else has Grandpa Max taught you?
00:33:30I mean, besides which way the wind blows, of course.
00:33:33Well, you see that spot on the horizon over there?
00:33:37There's a star that comes out right around Christmas, just before sunset.
00:33:40For a few minutes, it's the brightest thing in the sky.
00:33:43A Christmas star.
00:33:45Yeah. That's what we used to call it.
00:33:48I'd like to see that.
00:33:51But Max's Mountain is more than just a great Christmas card selfie.
00:33:55What do you mean?
00:33:57It's also the best place to hook up to a weather satellite feed.
00:34:00From here, the range on your portable station should be just about double.
00:34:03Are you serious?
00:34:05Yeah, we'll be able to figure out the best place to be to find that snowflake of yours.
00:34:07Hold on. That doesn't sound like Grandpa Max talking.
00:34:10Well, Grandpa Max taught me a lot of things, but, you know,
00:34:13you'd be surprised what you could pick up from a career in atmospheric science.
00:34:16Well, I'll go get my station.
00:34:18You know what? Let me do it.
00:34:20You snap some photos before we both turn into icicles.
00:34:22Good idea.
00:34:31Okay, there we go.
00:34:33Cheers.
00:34:36This way.
00:34:40Everything okay, Charlotte?
00:34:42Yeah, yeah. No, I'm just—
00:34:44Cheers.
00:35:06I used to do this when I was a kid.
00:35:08Who didn't?
00:35:10It's so fun.
00:35:12Okay, it's all set up. We should be good to go.
00:35:14We can wait in the cab. I can't have you freezing for your honor, right?
00:35:16Let's go.
00:35:17Hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:35:18What are you doing?
00:35:19Just a sec.
00:35:20Tegan, it's freezing.
00:35:21You're the one who said this would make for a good Christmas card selfie.
00:35:24Ready? Say Merry Christmas.
00:35:27Merry Christmas.
00:35:29Okay, now I'm cold.
00:35:32Let's go.
00:35:39You know, I don't remember snowflakes being such a big thing with you before.
00:35:44It's a proverb my mom found.
00:35:47A snowflake never falls in the wrong place.
00:35:49It means everything happens for a reason.
00:35:52Even the things that break your heart.
00:35:55I'm sorry, Tegan. We don't have to talk about it.
00:35:57No, it's okay.
00:35:59We started chasing snowflakes together just for fun.
00:36:04And then suddenly we were looking for all the different kinds.
00:36:07I was learning how to photograph them.
00:36:09She even bought me that weather station so I could keep looking for them by myself.
00:36:16So I did.
00:36:19I kept looking for them.
00:36:22I kept looking for them.
00:36:29I'm sure she's really happy that you did.
00:36:42The storm's getting stronger, look.
00:36:52The storm's getting stronger, look.
00:37:10Mr. Garrett, what a lovely surprise.
00:37:13Thought I'd check in, see how Tegan's doing.
00:37:15Oh, yes. Yes, she's doing great.
00:37:18She's on the trail of her snowflake as we speak.
00:37:20She's getting closer by the minute.
00:37:21Glad to hear it.
00:37:22I had another photographer reach out.
00:37:24I believe you know her, Suzanne Blanchard?
00:37:26Suzanne, yeah. Yeah, I do.
00:37:29Apparently, she's also done some snowflake photography.
00:37:32When I mentioned the 12-sided stellar dendrite, she said she was sure she could help us out with that.
00:37:36Help out how?
00:37:38By completing the set of pictures for the auction.
00:37:40After all, that's what it's about, isn't it?
00:37:42Right.
00:37:44This doesn't change my offer to Tegan.
00:37:46But it wouldn't hurt to have a backup, too.
00:37:48No, I understand.
00:37:50I haven't seen Suzanne's snowflakes, of course, so I'll need you to vet them for me.
00:37:53Let me know what you think.
00:37:54One way or the other, this is all for a good cause, right?
00:37:57You're right.
00:37:58We'll talk soon. Merry Christmas, Charlotte.
00:38:01Merry Christmas, Mr. Garrett.
00:38:04Well, wind gusts are up to 60, and chances snow at 70%.
00:38:08I think we've caught up with the storm.
00:38:10Not yet, we haven't.
00:38:12What?
00:38:13Trust me, this is going to get a lot more exciting before it's over.
00:38:16Oh, exciting.
00:38:18Well, maybe we should stop before things...
00:38:20We should probably stop before it gets...
00:38:22Um...
00:38:23I don't know.
00:38:24I don't know.
00:38:25I don't know.

00:43:20I don't know.
00:43:22I really love it here.
00:43:24Yeah.
00:43:25We should come back every Christmas.
00:43:29Um, I just mean, it's, it's very beautiful here.
00:43:34Yeah.
00:43:35Yeah, it is.
00:43:37Um, anyway, I should look at the next batch of photographs from Max's mountain.
00:43:42And, uh, we should get an early start in the morning, so I'm gonna go ahead and, uh, say goodnight.
00:43:54You know, um, people always like when I tell them about all the different kinds of snowflakes.
00:44:00How each one is unique.
00:44:03I mean, it sounds like a good way to end trivia night anyway.
00:44:05Yeah, I can see that.
00:44:07There's trillions of snowflakes falling every moment, and somehow, completely by random, two of them need to find each other.
00:44:14And they have to figure it out and not let anything come between them.
00:44:20Because both of them together, what they have, is even better.
00:44:27What are the odds?
00:44:29What are the odds?
00:44:37Fall is bright, round yon virgin mother and child.
00:44:49Holy infant so tender and mild.
00:44:55Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:45:02Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:45:12Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:45:15Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.
00:45:19That's great.
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:23Well, I will, uh, see you in the morning.
00:45:28Yeah, sleep well.
00:45:29You too.
00:46:00What are the odds?
00:46:08Hello?
00:46:09Deegan, this is Barb. I've been calling you since yesterday.
00:46:12Oh, Charlotte, I can barely hear you. The reception is terrible out here.
00:46:17Deegan? Deegan, hello?
00:46:19Yeah, I'm here. I'm just trying to, um, how's that?
00:46:22Yeah, that's better. How are you? How's everything going? Where are you?
00:46:25We ran into some serious weather last night, so we decided to stop.
00:46:28We're at some out of the way place called the Evergreen Inn.
00:46:31Okay, is everything okay?
00:46:32Yeah, everything's great. It is so beautiful here. It's like being in a Christmas story.
00:46:37You know, with the chimney smoke and the snow and all the colorful lights.
00:46:41Oh, and how about everything with Noah? Everybody playing nice?
00:46:44Are you kidding? I couldn't have done any of this without him.
00:46:48That really does sound like a Christmas story. So tell me, how does it end?
00:46:52What?
00:46:53Oh, I just mean, are we still chasing snowflakes, or is there maybe a little something else in the air?
00:46:58Oh, that's not, Charlotte, I'm just, you know, he's just helping me. That's all.
00:47:03Okay, well, I'm glad to hear it.
00:47:04Because you are going to need all the help you can get right now.
00:47:07What do you mean?
00:47:08Do you remember Suzanne, the other photographer?
00:47:10I was right about her. She reached out to Calvin Garrett.
00:47:13What? Why?
00:47:15She said she has some snowflake photos of her own. One snowflake in particular.
00:47:19The 12-sided dendrite? No, no, no, that's not possible.
00:47:22I agree, but he called me, and he wants me to review her photos, just in case.
00:47:27Well, in case of what?
00:47:28He really does want the auction to be a massive success,
00:47:31and that means having a complete set of snowflakes for him to bid on one way or another.
00:47:35In other words, it doesn't matter who takes the picture.
00:47:38No, no, no. No, it still matters.
00:47:40Teagan, he loves your photos. Plus, he's still going to contribute to the community center.
00:47:44Oh, but we're so close. We just need a little bit more time.
00:47:47Yeah, Teagan. Oh, Teagan, I can't hear you.
00:47:50Charlotte? Charlotte, I said that we're going to keep looking.
00:47:53He's breaking up.
00:47:54Hello, Charlotte?
00:47:55Teagan, listen to me. He just...
00:48:08Oh, no.
00:48:12Good morning. Okay, cream, sugar, black. Couldn't remember how you took it.
00:48:18Thank you. It's not snowing.
00:48:21No, the storm moved on last night. Took the snow with it.
00:48:24How am I supposed to take pictures of snowflakes if it's not snowing?
00:48:28Don't worry. We can catch it.
00:48:30I should have been out here first thing with the weather station. I'm going to go get it set up.
00:48:34But, hey, you don't have to do that.
00:48:36What do you suggest I do, Noah? What, are you going to sniff out the storm for me?
00:48:41No. All I was going to say is that when the wind shifted, it took it north-northeast.
00:48:45Can we still catch up with it?
00:48:46Yeah, if we get on the road right now, we'll catch up by the end of the day.
00:48:49Oh, good. Okay, thank you.
00:48:51No problem. All right, let's go get that snowflake.
00:48:56Yeah.
00:49:03Teagan tells me you're quite the photographer yourself.
00:49:06Maybe one day you'll let me show some of your work in the gallery.
00:49:09I don't know. Maybe, yeah.
00:49:11Okay, here we are. Come find me at the gallery. When you're through, we'll grab some lunch.
00:49:15Okay.
00:49:16Hey, Charlotte, you and Teagan have been friends for a long time, haven't you?
00:49:21Yeah, pretty much forever.
00:49:22So, you knew her before when she and my dad were, you know...
00:49:26Uh-huh, now you're wondering what the story is there.
00:49:28Kinda.
00:49:29Well, all I can tell you is I've never met two people who were more ready to take on the world.
00:49:35Really?
00:49:36Yeah, the problem with that is that sent them both in completely different directions,
00:49:40and by the time they figured it out, well, there was no going back.
00:49:43But they're both back now.
00:49:45Yeah, you're right, they are.
00:49:47And who knows, with all this Christmas spirit in the air, you never know what might happen.
00:49:51Yeah.
00:49:52All right, come on in.
00:49:55See you later.
00:50:03Oh, hey.
00:50:04Hi.
00:50:05You remember me from yesterday?
00:50:07Yeah, hi.
00:50:09Hi.
00:50:10Oh, my name's Suzanne, by the way.
00:50:12How's your dad's Christmas present coming along?
00:50:14Uh, almost finished.
00:50:16That's great, I'm sure he's gonna just love it.
00:50:19You know what they say, Christmas comes but once a year.
00:50:23Yeah, um, classes canceled again, Teagan's not here.
00:50:28Still out chasing those snowflakes, I'll bet.
00:50:31Mm-hmm.
00:50:33That's a shame, though.
00:50:35That's actually why I dropped by.
00:50:37It's just so fascinating to me.
00:50:40You know, after what I saw at the gallery, I was hoping to get a look at some others.
00:50:45How come?
00:50:46Oh, see, I'm a photographer, too.
00:50:49And for me, art is a process.
00:50:51Some days you find it, other days it finds you.
00:50:56And what better way to find it than to learn from the people you respect, don't you think?
00:51:01Sure.
00:51:03I'd just really like to know Teagan's secret, how she does it.
00:51:07Oh, well, that's no secret.
00:51:09It's not?
00:51:10All you have to do is when you're outside, you catch them on something so they don't melt right away.
00:51:14That gives you time to take the photo.
00:51:16Of course.
00:51:34How much farther now?
00:51:36Nope.
00:51:38I'd say by the looks of those clouds, we got a pretty good shot.
00:51:41Looks like.
00:51:48Did I miss something?
00:51:50What?
00:51:52Well, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought we kind of had a moment last night.
00:51:58Yeah, it was very nice.
00:52:01Wow.
00:52:03Very nice.
00:52:04Okay, you can really feel the magic in the air.
00:52:08Fine, it was great, okay?
00:52:10Yeah, it was great.
00:52:11I know.
00:52:12So what's the problem?
00:52:14It has nothing to do with you.
00:52:15Well, I'm the only one here.
00:52:17I just really don't want to get into it right now.
00:52:19Oh, no.
00:52:20Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:22I understand how you must be feeling.
00:52:23No, no, no, hold on.
00:52:24What?
00:52:25Black ice, hold on.
00:52:35You okay?
00:52:37Yeah, you?
00:52:39Yeah, the truck's not.
00:53:05Okay.
00:53:17No bars.
00:53:23That is just the kind of day I'm having.
00:53:25Diane, I'm so sorry.
00:53:27It's not your fault.
00:53:28No, it is.
00:53:29I should have seen the ice.
00:53:30I should have been paying attention.
00:53:31I distracted you.
00:53:32I thought I was getting my pictures on the gallery wall.
00:53:34There's nothing wrong with wanting the option to go right.
00:53:36Well, unless you're stuck in the snow on top of a mountain
00:53:39where no one can hear you scream.
00:53:41Yeah, you're not really going to start screaming, are you?
00:53:43Oh, you're right.
00:53:44With my luck, I'd probably start an avalanche.
00:53:46Again, hey, it's going to be okay.
00:53:51Charlotte called me this morning.
00:53:54You know that photographer I was telling you about?
00:53:56She has some snowflake photos of her up.
00:53:58Oh.
00:53:59Is she the one that you're looking for?
00:54:01I don't know, but Mr. Garrett wants Charlotte to take a look just in case.
00:54:04And if she has it, then we get it back, right?
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:10No.
00:54:13I don't know.
00:54:24You said that you've been looking for this snowflake for three years, right?
00:54:29Yeah.
00:54:31Is this snowflake for your mom?
00:54:38I thought that if I could do this,
00:54:41I could show everyone how much Christmas meant to her.
00:54:46It's a nice way to remember her.
00:54:51You can still do that.
00:54:54We're stuck, Noah.
00:54:56Even if I could find the snowflake,
00:54:58how would I get it to Charlotte in time?
00:55:02I don't know.
00:55:10What are you doing?
00:55:12Do you smell that?
00:55:15No, I don't smell anything.
00:55:18Except wood smoke.
00:55:20And when there's smoke...
00:55:22There's warmth.
00:55:23Let's go.
00:55:31Come on.
00:55:45Come on.
00:55:47All I want for Christmas is a little flurry.
00:55:49Flurry.
00:55:58So, how far does chimney smoke carry, anyway?
00:56:01Well, it depends on the wind.
00:56:04Well, you're the weather guy.
00:56:07Okay.
00:56:08Let's see.
00:56:10Given the atmospheric conditions,
00:56:12the relatively high altitude,
00:56:14allowing for a reasonable margin of error,
00:56:16I would have to say...
00:56:17pretty far.
00:56:19Stick to snowplowing.
00:56:24You know, I was wrong about one thing.
00:56:26What's that?
00:56:28This might turn out to be one of our great stories after all.
00:56:31You're starting to look that way.
00:56:34We've had a few, haven't we?
00:56:37Yeah.
00:56:38Still really have.
00:56:42Hey, look!
00:56:48Look!
00:57:00Finally!
00:57:07Charlotte, hi!
00:57:08How are you?
00:57:09I'm fine, Suzanne.
00:57:10You got a minute?
00:57:12Yeah, of course.
00:57:13What can I do for you?
00:57:15What was that?
00:57:17Oh, that's just the wind.
00:57:18I'm out for a stroll,
00:57:20enjoying nature's beauty.
00:57:22That's actually why I'm calling.
00:57:24I'd like you to come by tomorrow morning
00:57:25so I can take a look at your snowflake photos.
00:57:27In the morning?
00:57:29Is that a problem?
00:57:30No, that's no problem.
00:57:32Okay, great.
00:57:33I'll see you at ten.
00:57:34Oh, and Suzanne?
00:57:37It's much too cold to be out there.
00:57:39Right.
00:57:40You got it.
00:57:41Thank you.
00:57:46Oh.
00:57:55Noah!
00:57:56I see it.
00:58:01How did Santa move his workshop?
00:58:04Only one way to find out.
00:58:15Knock, knock, knock.
00:58:22Wayne?
00:58:23Well, hello there.
00:58:24This is quite a surprise.
00:58:26Uh, yeah, same here.
00:58:28You didn't come all this way to tell me
00:58:29how much you enjoyed our caroling last night.
00:58:31No.
00:58:32I mean, yes, the music was lovely, but no.
00:58:35We actually had a little car trouble down the road.
00:58:38Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:58:40Well, why don't you come in?
00:58:41You can get warm
00:58:42while we get this all sorted out.
00:58:43Thank you.
00:58:45Oh.
00:58:51Here you go.
00:58:53Hot cider.
00:58:54Freshly squeezed from the apples
00:58:55right from my own trees.
00:58:57Wow.
00:58:58Well, it smells wonderful.
00:58:59Thanks, Wayne.
00:59:01Your house is beautiful.
00:59:03I'm what you'd call a deck-the-halls kind of guy.
00:59:06Just can't seem to get enough Christmas.
00:59:08Well, I think it looks great.
00:59:09Well, let's see about getting
00:59:10that plow of yours out of the storm.
00:59:12Oh, uh, well, let me give you a hand.
00:59:13No, no, you guys just relax.
00:59:15I'm going to get somebody else from the inn to help.
00:59:17Make yourselves at home,
00:59:18and I'm going to be back before you know it.
00:59:21Wayne, are you sure?
00:59:22I mean, you barely even know us.
00:59:24Strangers at my door at Christmas asking for help.
00:59:28What else do I need to know?
00:59:31Oh.
00:59:43Who sends Christmas presents?
00:59:45It looks amazing.
00:59:46And it's all wrapped, ready to go under the tree, too.
00:59:49I was wondering if I could keep it here until Christmas.
00:59:51I really want to surprise my dad.
00:59:53Of course.
00:59:54I've got just the spot for it.
00:59:55He won't suspect a thing.
00:59:57Are you here for my dad yet?
00:59:59No, I haven't.
01:00:00Me neither.
01:00:01He usually calls when he's gone.
01:00:02You know what?
01:00:03I spoke with Tegan this morning.
01:00:04They still haven't found the snowflake just yet,
01:00:07but she said everything's fine.
01:00:08I'll look it up on the map at the storm where they're going.
01:00:11It's pretty bad.
01:00:12I promise you, your dad will be back in plenty of time
01:00:14for you to surprise him on Christmas morning.
01:00:17You're right.
01:00:18Now, let's go hide this thing,
01:00:19and what do you say we grab some lunch?
01:00:21Maybe you can help me finish my Christmas shopping.
01:00:23But Christmas is in three days.
01:00:25Please don't remind me.
01:00:30Hello?
01:00:32Hello?
01:00:38If you're looking for a weather update,
01:00:40I don't want to know.
01:00:41Whichever way the storm's going is fine
01:00:42as long as we can get there too.
01:00:44I was actually trying to get ahold of Julie.
01:00:46Oh, any luck?
01:00:47No, not since yesterday.
01:00:50She worries about you when you're away.
01:00:52Yeah, she can read a weather map as well as I can,
01:00:54which means she's probably keeping an eye
01:00:55on everything happening up here.
01:00:57Well, we'll get back tonight.
01:00:58And you two will have Christmas together.
01:01:00Don't worry.
01:01:03What about you?
01:01:04What do you do for Christmas?
01:01:05Well, Charlotte and I have dinner,
01:01:07and then we wrap presents,
01:01:08and we take a walk in the town
01:01:09and look at all the lights.
01:01:10Oh, yeah?
01:01:11Yeah.
01:01:12Yeah, Julie and I do the same thing.
01:01:13Really?
01:01:14Yeah, it's really beautiful.
01:01:15We love it.
01:01:16Yeah, it is.
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:19Yeah.
01:01:22Oh, great.
01:01:23Thank you, Wayne.
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:26Probably, uh...
01:01:27Yeah.
01:01:32Well, thanks for everything, Wayne.
01:01:33Yeah, thank you.
01:01:34We couldn't have done it without you.
01:01:35You gotta stay on Santa's good side.
01:01:37I don't think you have to worry about that.
01:01:39Have a Merry Christmas.
01:01:41And Merry Christmas to you both.
01:01:43Merry Christmas.
01:01:44Drive safe now, okay?
01:01:45All right.
01:01:46Bye.
01:01:58I am not getting any cars.
01:02:00It's okay, I'll try later.
01:02:06I'm sorry for what I said this morning
01:02:08about you sniffing out the storm.
01:02:10You were upset.
01:02:12I still shouldn't have snapped on you.
01:02:14Everything you've done,
01:02:16everything you've done,
01:02:18everything you've done,
01:02:20everything you've done,
01:02:22everything you've done,
01:02:24everything you've done,
01:02:26I don't know how to thank you.
01:02:29You can thank me after we get that snowflake.
01:02:32See, that's what I mean.
01:02:34You really believe it's out there
01:02:36and that I can find it.
01:02:38And you help me remember why it's important.
01:02:40Thank you for that.
01:02:43Thank you?
01:02:45What for?
01:02:46I don't know.
01:02:48Here I am,
01:02:49driving into the biggest snowstorm
01:02:51to come along in years,
01:02:52hunting for that one snowflake
01:02:54and a hundred trillion to get a photo
01:02:56to take back home and...
01:02:58I get to do it with you.
01:03:04First ones came early this year.
01:03:10Is that...
01:03:12Is that snow?
01:03:18Here we go.
01:03:24How you doing over there?
01:03:26Great.
01:03:28I told you it'd get more exciting.
01:03:30I will never doubt you again.
01:03:34Is this it? Are we here?
01:03:36Uh, yeah. I'd say this is it.
01:03:38I will find a place to pull over.
01:03:40Oh, I need to find somewhere with trees
01:03:42or something to block the wind.
01:03:44What?
01:03:45Oh, well, like the way that it's blowing,
01:03:47I might not be able to keep the snowflakes on the cloth
01:03:49and then it won't work.
01:03:51All right, look.
01:03:52The windchill up here is gonna cut right through you,
01:03:54so we gotta make this quick.
01:03:55Don't worry.
01:03:56Okay, I'm gonna turn around,
01:03:57so if we have to make a clean getaway,
01:03:59at least we'll be pointed downhill.
01:04:00Okay, I'll meet you up there.
01:04:02Tegan!
01:04:03Tegan, wait!
01:04:07Tegan!
01:04:08Tegan!
01:04:09Tegan!
01:04:10Tegan!
01:04:11Tegan!
01:04:12Tegan!
01:04:13Tegan!
01:04:14Tegan!
01:04:15Tegan!
01:04:16Tegan!
01:04:17Tegan!
01:04:18Tegan!
01:04:19Tegan!
01:04:49Tegan!
01:04:58No!
01:05:10Tegan!
01:05:20Tegan, where are you?
01:05:26Noah?
01:05:28Tegan!
01:05:29Noah!
01:05:33Tegan, keep calling!
01:05:34Noah, over here!
01:05:37Noah!
01:05:38Over here!
01:05:40Tegan!
01:05:41Tegan!
01:05:50Ah!
01:05:55Are you okay?
01:05:56Yeah, are you?
01:05:57Yeah, yeah.
01:06:03Hold on.
01:06:04It's not slowing down.
01:06:05I can't even see in front of me out there.
01:06:07The road's gonna get a lot worse.
01:06:09We should get out of here.
01:06:10Do you want to check, see if you got it?
01:06:11Yeah.
01:06:17My camera.
01:06:18What?
01:06:19No.
01:06:20I'll find it.
01:06:21No, no, no.
01:06:22Don't, don't.
01:06:23It's too dangerous.
01:06:24With your pictures.
01:06:25What if you get lost?
01:06:26I don't even know where it would be.
01:06:28I don't know where I was.
01:06:34Let's just go home.
01:06:48Hey.
01:06:58It's Julie.
01:07:00Hey, kiddo.
01:07:01Dad, where have you been?
01:07:02You were supposed to call me.
01:07:04I know.
01:07:05I'm sorry, sweetie.
01:07:06The cell reception's been bad up here, but we're on our way home now.
01:07:09Did Tegan find her snowflake?
01:07:13Well, uh, you're on speaker.
01:07:15You can ask her yourself.
01:07:16Hi, Julie.
01:07:17Tegan, hi.
01:07:18I couldn't believe it.
01:07:19I was looking at the weather map.
01:07:20Everything was perfect.
01:07:22Yep.
01:07:23Everything was perfect, but not this time.
01:07:26You didn't find your snowflake?
01:07:28I'm sorry.
01:07:29Me too.
01:07:30Look, we'll tell you all about it when we get home, okay?
01:07:33We'll see you soon.
01:07:34Okay, bye.
01:07:35Bye, Tegan.
01:07:36Bye, Julie.
01:07:47Bye.
01:07:58You sure you know what to come with?
01:08:00Julie would love to see you.
01:08:02I'll see you later.
01:08:05Tegan, um, I'm really sorry.
01:08:10A snowflake never falls in the wrong place.
01:08:13But sometimes it doesn't fall where you want it to.
01:08:17Okay, Chrissy, it's over.
01:08:23Take it.
01:08:32Merry Christmas.
01:08:39Well, thanks so much for coming in, Suzanne.
01:08:41Mr. Garrett is very interested in hearing about your photos.
01:08:44Oh, I'm very happy to do it.
01:08:46I'm just so excited we finally get to work together.
01:08:48Yeah, quick question here.
01:08:50What am I looking at?
01:08:52Snowflakes.
01:08:53Aren't they beautiful?
01:08:54Oh, it's just a little hard to tell.
01:08:56They're slightly out of focus here.
01:08:58Oh, that was an artistic choice.
01:09:00Sorry?
01:09:01My vision for the exhibit.
01:09:03Your vision is to take photos that make people slightly queasy?
01:09:06To capture the randomness, the chaos of nature's beauty during a snowstorm.
01:09:12See?
01:09:13Okay, you sure you weren't shivering, maybe a little cold?
01:09:19Look, the thing is, I really wanted this gig.
01:09:23But to tell you the truth, I'm not exactly what you call a Christmas person.
01:09:29Ah.
01:09:31I understand.
01:09:32But to tell you the truth, Suzanne, I am.
01:09:37Merry Christmas.
01:09:43Merry Christmas.
01:09:58Ah.
01:09:59Hey.
01:10:01Sorry, I probably should have called first, but I thought you might want this.
01:10:08You went back?
01:10:09Well, the storm moved on last night, and the roads were clear, so it wasn't really a big deal.
01:10:16This is...
01:10:18No, I don't even know what to say. Thank you.
01:10:20Yeah.
01:10:21Yeah, the bag's insulated, so the camera was protected, and I warmed it up in the truck, so...
01:10:25She'll be fine.
01:10:30Come in, come in. It's freezing.
01:10:33Yeah.
01:10:39I can't stay too long. All that snow, it's gonna be a busy day, so...
01:10:42Oh, well, I'll just make you some tea, and you can take it with you, and it'll keep you warm.
01:10:46Well, hey, don't you wanna... don't you wanna check?
01:10:49Uh, I'll do it later.
01:10:51Come on, you worked hard for those photos.
01:10:53And, I don't know, I'd hate to think that we went through all that, and I don't even get to look.
01:10:59Okay.
01:11:09You know what? No one's ever done anything like this for me before.
01:11:14I can't tell you what it means to me.
01:11:16And these past couple of days, being with you again, it's brought back some really wonderful memories.
01:11:26And it's reminded me that no matter how bad we want it, not every Christmas wish comes true.
01:11:33That's right. Not every Christmas wish comes true, but...
01:11:39you only need one, if it's the right one.
01:11:45Not many people get a second chance to figure out if they're supposed to be together, Tegan.
01:11:50And this is ours. This is our chance.
01:11:54And the way I see it, if a couple of snowflakes can figure it out, then...
01:11:59we should be able to as well.
01:12:02If we're willing to try.
01:12:05One Christmas wish.
01:12:08The right wish.
01:12:24Noah.
01:12:26Who's that?
01:12:34Who's that?
01:12:45Hello there. Who's next?
01:12:50Thank you so much everybody for being here tonight and for helping to make this year's Christmas auction a massive success.
01:12:57We really appreciate everybody's generosity.
01:12:59Thank you. Thank you.
01:13:02And I would especially like to thank my friend and remarkable photographer, Tegan Ainsley.
01:13:10Thank you.
01:13:12Now, some of you may not know that Tegan weathered a storm, literally, to bring us an exquisite photo of a very rare 12-sided snowflake.
01:13:25Well, I could not have done it without this guy here.
01:13:28Tegan, get on up here.
01:13:29Oh, no.
01:13:31Tegan!
01:13:32Tegan!
01:13:37Tegan, do you have anything you'd like to say about your beautiful photo?
01:13:41Well, in order to find this 12-sided snowflake, Mother Nature had to conspire to bring two very unique 6-sided snowflakes together.
01:13:52And yes, we all love Tegan's photos, but there's somebody here tonight that loved them so much that he outbid all of us by a long shot so that he could bring them home with him.
01:14:04And I think he'd like to say a few words.
01:14:06So, Mr. Garrett, come on up here.
01:14:11Thank you, Shirley.
01:14:13Thank you, everyone.
01:14:15Tegan, you have certainly fulfilled your side of our agreement, and now I will fulfill mine.
01:14:20I spoke to the folks at the community center, and they gave me a list of all the repairs that they need.
01:14:27I think that this should more than cover it.
01:14:32Thank you, Mr. Garrett.
01:14:33Of course.
01:14:38Okay, thank you again, everybody, for coming, and please go have some fun, and Merry Christmas!
01:14:43Merry Christmas, everyone!
01:14:50Thank you.
01:15:06What's this?
01:15:07Merry Christmas.
01:15:08Shouldn't this be under the Christmas tree?
01:15:10I wanted to give it to you today.
01:15:13Open it, Dad.
01:15:21Thank you.
01:15:28Do you like it?
01:15:31It's the best present I've ever received.
01:15:36Thank you, sweetie.
01:15:40Did you ask her yet?
01:15:44Would you like to join us for Christmas dinner tomorrow?
01:15:47I would love to.
01:15:48Great. Charlotte will be there, too.
01:15:51Well, come on. I want to show everyone this amazing gift my amazing daughter got me.
01:15:59Hey, um, you know, the forecast for Christmas Day is for perfect weather.
01:16:05Perfect for what?
01:16:06There.
01:16:19Oh, yeah!
01:16:22Wow.
01:16:24I want to come back here every Christmas.
01:16:27Yeah, we will.
01:16:36Merry Christmas.
01:16:46Hello, everyone. Welcome back to my channel.
01:16:50Today, I'm going to paint a picture of a beautiful girl and make a heart.
01:16:57Let's get started.
01:16:59Here we go.
01:17:05First, I'm going to paint the heart on top.
01:17:09It's quite fancy and has a lot of details.
01:17:14I'm going to use a dark pink.
01:17:19It has a lot of details.
01:17:29I'm going to use a light pink.
01:18:00I think I'm done. I just painted a little bit because I don't have a lot of details.
01:18:08I'm going to paint the hair yellow to make it stand out in front of the face.
01:18:29Okay.
01:18:45Come on, bubba. I love you.
01:18:49I love you.
01:18:55Don't cry.
01:19:00Now, I'm going to paint the ears.
01:19:13Now, let's paint the shirt.
01:19:17The shirt has a lot of details.
01:19:21I'm going to use orange to paint the details in front of the chest.
01:19:29I'm not going to do it yet. I'm going to do it later.
01:19:35I'm almost done.
01:19:46I'm not going to do it yet.
01:19:51I'm going to do it later.
01:19:59I'm not going to do it yet.
01:20:04I'm going to use green to paint the shirt.
01:20:09I'm going to paint the arms first.
01:20:10I'm going to paint the arms first.
01:20:28I'm going to paint the middle part.
01:20:41That's it for today's painting.
01:20:44That's it for today's painting.
01:20:45That's it for today's painting.
01:20:46Thank you for watching this video.
01:20:49Goodbye and see you again.
