The weather this evening will be cold and snowy, an arctic wind blowing from the north will lower the temperature......
Vroom! Vroom!
Caillou and Daddy didn't know it yet, but the winter storm was heading their way.
Vroom! Gilbert!
Do you want go outside, Gilbert?
Now let's look at the international forecast.
Why don't you let him out, Caillou?
Okay.
Come on, Gilbert!
Daddy, look!
Caillou was amazed by the snow.
The wind was very strong with blowing the snow around in circles, making it very hard to see outside.
Caillou was sure that tomorrow would be a great day to build a snowman.
Boy, that sounds storm.
The weather-man said it would be freezing rain tonight.
I'd better turn up the heat.
Why don't we go and see if Mommy needs help setting the table?
Okay, Daddy.
Vroom! Red-light. Green-light.
Vroom! Red-light!
Hi, sweetie! Are you getting hungry?
Yes. Green-light! Vroom! Okay, now we are parking!
Woo! That's an awful storm!
It looks like it's getting worse.
Well, there is no use worrying about something we can't control, huh.
Why don't you go get wash it up for supper, Caillou?
Caillou wonder why Mommy and Daddy were so worried about the storm.
I think we forgot the magic words.
Green-light!
Vroom!
Hey! Daddy?
Caillou was feeling very alone in the dark and he decided he would try and turn the lights back on himself!
Caillou didn't understand how the lights could turn off all by themselves.
When he couldn't turn them back on, he was very afraid.
Daddy!
I'm coming, Caillou. Stay where you are!
The lights aren't working, Daddy.
The storm must've caused the power failed.
What's that?
That's why there is no electricity so the lights don't work.
Caillou didn't know that storm could stop the lights from working.
He never heard about that before.
Let's go down stairs and get the flashlights.
Rosie, don't blow up the candles, sweetie. We need them to see.
I'll go to the basement, and get the flashlights and some more candles.
I want to go with you.
Caillou wanted to help his daddy find the flashlights.
Be careful! It's pitch black down there.
I guess the basement isn't the best place to keep the flashlights, huh, Caillou?
Be careful, Daddy!
Caillou was trying to be brave but he didn't like sitting alone in the dark.
Daddy!
It's okay, Caillou!
Oops!
Ugh!
Oh, no. My candle's out. I'm sure the flashlights are right here somewhere.
Daddy?
Caillou was frightened sitting in the dark stairwell all by himself.
He couldn't see his daddy anymore.
Found them!
Ugh!
Daddy's appearance startled Caillou at first,
but he was relieved to see Daddy with the flashlights.
I'm sorry, Caillou. I didn't mean to scare you.
Here you go! you can have one, too.
Roar!
Yeah! Eeeks!
Don't do that! You're scaring me!
Gilbert, you silly cat!
Gilbert!
There we go!
Yeah!
Caillou was happy that there were lights again.
He figured that they could have supper now.
When can we eat, Mommy?
That's a good question, Caillou.
I'll go get some wood and build a fire.
We can heat something up in the fireplace just like one more camping.
Really?
Caillou couldn't imagine how they could cook with the fireplace in the living room.
He thought it would be fun to pretend the living room was a camp-ground.
I like camping in the living room, Daddy.
Yes, it is fun, but I hope the electricity comes back on soon.
Our house is getting a little chilly.
When was the lights come back on, Daddy?
I'm not sure it could take some time.
Caillou didn't understand why it would take a long time,
but right now, he didn't mind very much.
I think it's time for dessert.
What's for dessert?
What's your favorite dessert when we go camping, Caillou.
Marshmallow! Yeah!
Is it done yet?
I think it is. Now blow on it because it's very hot.
Yum!
(yawn)
I think it's bedtime.
I don't want to go to bed, Mommy.
I think we should all sleep down here tonight.
Yeah!
Huh?
Caillou was startled awake by the sound of the television,
but he really wanted to continue camping out in front of the fireplace.
The power's back on.
Can we still sleep here tonight, Daddy?
Sure we can. Good night, Caillou!
Vroom! Vroom!
Caillou and Daddy didn't know it yet, but the winter storm was heading their way.
Vroom! Gilbert!
Do you want go outside, Gilbert?
