=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E11 Winter Wrap Up/YMMV|YMMV items can be found here]]). ===
 
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: "So quietLY and nice", "Help the earth poNY way".
Line 42:
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Twilight specifically when trying to help wake the hibernating animals, though her entire attempts to help out at other tasks can be seen as the extended cut…
* [["I Want" Song]]: At least Twilight's verses.
* [[Just Trying to Help]]: Twilight chokes this out after getting a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] from Applejack for using magic before running off.
* [[Like a Weasel]]: Spike spends a chunk of the episode convincing Twilight to use her magic. When she does to help plow fields and things get out of control, Applejack calls her out on it. [[Hypocrite|Spike immediately changes his position, chiding her for using magic.]]
* [[Ludd Was Right]]
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Rainbow Dash sings about awesome holidays, Pinkie about parties and Rarity about Fashion. Applejack? She's singing about possible starvation due to running out of food. Wow.
* [[Magical Underpinnings of Reality]]
* [[Musical World Hypothesis]]: The song may be partly the Diegetic version, mostly because they do this every year and this may be the song and dance they do every year. Twilight's solo throws it off a bit.
* [[Painting the Frost on Windows]]: The main point of the episode.
* [[Human Snowball|Pony Snowball]]: The result of Twilight's attempt to clear the snow from the fields. Also recurs to an extent when Twilight tries her hand at ice skating, and ends up crashing into Pinkie and Spike.
Line 57:
* [[Super OCD]]: Both Twilight and Rarity show this behavior. Twilight immediately lays out all the components of the bird's nest in an orderly fashion before constructing it, and then later her organization skills [[Chekhov's Skill|help to save the day]]. Rarity, on the other hand, becomes obsessed with trying to fix Twilight's attempt at the bird's nest, leaving her drastically behind schedule.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Applejack gives Twilight a good chewing out after the latter uses magic to help clear the snow from the fields, with disastrous results (although she looks regretful when Twilight runs off in tears).
** Though after watching [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E11 Family Appreciation Day|Family Appreciation Day]], Twilight's disobeying of the rules could be considered as a variation of [[Harsher in Hindsight]], due to the fact that not only did Twilight break the sacred Earth Pony tradition rule on Applejack's farm, a very earthy... Earth pony. But also consider and remember the fact that the ponies who founded Ponyville were actually Applejack's great-grandparents, making Twilight's act of rule-breaking especially disrespectful towards Applejack.
** The mayor gives one to just about ''everyone else'' afterwards, since their arguments and bumbling have delayed spring another year round.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: For Twilight, literally. And bats.
