Fuzzy Thelma is a Scottish Highland cow and Gram's favorite of all the farm animals. She is usually quite docile, but when a massive blizzard roars through the area, Fuzzy Thelma wanders off and gets lost in the storm. She is finally found stuck up on the roof of one of the outbuildings. To everyone's surprise, she likes her new-found home and refuses to come down. It takes the whole family, and eventually the community, weeks to figure out how to get the stubborn bovine back down where she belongs.
