A video of a Pennsylvania man clearing heavy snow with just a cardboard box tied to his ride-on mower has been viewed more than 9million times on Facebook.

A video posted by Kaitlynn Toporzycki, who lives in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania shows Jonathan Schill, her fiancé, plowing a driveway on December 30 with a John Deere ride-on and a cardboard box.

According to the York Daily Record Schill was 15 minutes into his snow shoveling following the first big snow of the season, when he decided he needed a snow plow. Having just moved, he only had a shovel, a much larger driveway than before, and no access to a plow.

He looked in his garage and found a 50-inch TV's cardboard box which had a shiny coating and decided to see if he could fasten it to his lawnmower.
