'''Airdate: February 22, 2002'''

An iceberg has drifted over Bikini Bottom, so that means one thing: snow! This prompts [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick to have a snowball fight. Squidward wants no part of it, but then he's roped in and takes things too far.
!!Snowball Effect contains examples of:
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Patrick attempts to make a snowball and keeps failing; eventually making a ''snow helix''.

* IdiotBall: Squidward actually grabs it. He tells Patrick to think of him as [=SpongeBob=], to teach him how to have a snowball fight (while [=SpongeBob=] asks to be Mr Krabs). Squidward throws a snowball at Patrick and says, "Now, what are you going to do?" Patrick throws a snowball back at Squidward, who had said not five seconds ago to think of him as [=SpongeBob=]. Squidward asks why Patrick didn't throw it at [=SpongeBob=].
-->'''Patrick:''' You said you were [=SpongeBob=], [=SpongeBob=].\\
'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' *Impersonating Mr Krabs.* Argh, it's true, Mr. Squidward. Now get back to work!
* NotSoAboveItAll: Squidward claims to be above taking part in a snowball fight. He is soon proven wrong.
* PottyEmergency: After swallowing the melted snow, Patrick asks Squidward if he can use the bathroom. After saying 'No' repeatedly, Squidward finally yields and tells him to make it quick, only for Patrick to say "[[PottyFailure That's okay]]".
* RunningGag: Each of the characters throwing a snowball into Squidward's fireplace, putting it out. Squidward even did when he was aiming nowhere near his house.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: After Squidward takes the snowball fight too seriously ([[OOCIsSeriousBusiness having thrown a snowball with his clarinet in it]]), [=SpongeBob=] declares it's TimeForPlanB, which is for he and Patrick to abandon the fight.
* SnowballFight: Squidward claims to be above such childish activities, but gets sucked in and goes into such a panic that he'll lose and builds a two-story-high impenetrable snow fort.
** Also, Patrick shows just barely enough knowledge to create a snowblock, a snowpyramid, and even a snowhelix - but not a ''snowball''. He uses snowblocks in his snowball fight.
* SnowySleighBells: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhc9gtE-FY4 Wonderland of Snow]], the music playing during the title theme, features extremely prominent sleigh bells. The music playing at the start of the episode during the montage of a snow-covered Bikini Bottom.
