CHAMBERSBURG, Pennsylvania (CNN) — A Pennsylvania man had a creative solution to help clear his snow-covered driveway.
Jonathan Schill attached a giant cardboard box from a flat-screen TV to his riding lawnmower to create a make-shift snow plow.
His fiancée, Kaitlynn Toporzycki, captured the snow plow on video from outside their home in Chambersburg last week.
She admitted it actually worked.
“Snowplowing with lawnmower and 50” TV box! Gets the job done!” she wrote as the caption to the video.

I’m tempted to attach a broken shovel, and a wireless webcam to an RC car, and plow my driveway from my laptop.
I’m hoping someone can help me out here.
Some months back, searching online, I found a snowplow that attaches to the rear hitch of an SUV - one plows in reverse. It was somewhere in the $360 range. Now, searching online everywhere, I can’t find it. All the plows that attach to an SUV seem to be in the $1K or higher range.
I know, shame on me for not bookmarking it when I first saw it, but does anyone know if such a thing exists? I swear I didn’t imagine it!
That’s a pathetic amount of snow!
Would like to see how it works on 2 feet of snow!
Thanks, looks like this is what I saw!

“You should start a “go fund me” page to buy this guy some well deserved beer.”
Or a snowblower.
Raleigh got about 1.5"of dry powdery snow a few days ago.
Unusual as most snow events start as rain then changes to ice then snow. A mess
Anyway I got out with my handheld leaf blower and cleared the 100' driveway in about 20 min.
I've tried it with the usual snow event with no joy.
There’s not that much snow——why not just shovel it?

When you have wet snow, you send the kids out to make giant snow forts. There’s never enough snow for the fort a kid dreams of building, so they’ll scrounge it from your driveway as well as all the neighbors’....
