Surprise! Yeah, some surprises are not fun (many of us were shocked to find around 200 episodes of "Sesame Street" removed from HBO Max ahead of their merger with Discovery), but I'm only bringing the fun surprises today, yet another full ep of the best darn kids show ever, yeah! Originally aired on February 7, 1974 (Season 5), Episode 594 brings us a short, but sweet, Grover love affair with a pile of snow and many other surprises. Read on for the rundown or just dive in and enjoy! With thanks to my Secret Sesame Street Santa.

EDIT: Darn my flying fingers! Forgot to add the zero to the episode number (0594 instead of 594) before searching Google and missed @Rohail Hashmi's copy of this one. No such thing as too much Sesame Street though, right? More to come, probably tomorrow, promise I'll do a better job researching the ep.
