| 0:00.0 | And now, a show with inappropriate language, the Powell Movement. |
| 0:12.1 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:15.4 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and this week it absolutely dumped in Seattle as well as the rest of the country. |
| 0:21.9 | Here we got over a foot of snow and it was a ton of fun for the kids and the parents. |
| 0:27.0 | And for me, like always, this snow brought a little bit of drama. |

| 1:20.7 | piece was now in about 40 pieces. |
