SCENE 1 Big Bird walks down Sesame Street taking notice of the adults clearing away the snow and the kids playing in it. When it starts to snow again, Susan rolls her eyes and goes back indoors. Big Bird figures he should come up with a better way to remove all the snow at once so everybody won't have to worry about it. Shooing it and scaring it away doesn't work ("I didn't realize it, but snow seems to have nerves of steel," Big Bird notes), but he comes up with what he thinks is an even better idea.

Big Bird explains that the method begins with getting your bathing suit on; Susan is perplexed.
