W: So have I. It's so cold. The weatherman said it's going to snow, around 5 to 7 inches.
M: ⑧So what? Last night the weather report said the snow would last only one hour, but actually it snowed about three hours.
W: I agree with you. Anyway, the weather changes so much. If it snows today, I'll stay at home tomorrow.

M: OK. ⑫Just go straight until you see the first traffic lights up there. Take a left turn, and go down one block. You'll see the gas station near a post office.
