  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So you're in Myrtle Beach. You ever get a lot
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: of snow. You don't get snow there, do you?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we did. We had five inches last month and
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: stuck around for a day. Two last year we had
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: five or six inches. That's stuck around for almost a week.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: But you know, they have a little clown call with
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: a shovel on it, and that's their their plows, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you know it actually just shuts down the entire state

  Speaker 2: You know, well, we got fifteen inches in New York,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: eighteen inches in the suburbs, two feet in the south
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: shore of Long Island.
