A Canadian teacher was so fed up with being snowed in during Valentine's Day weekend he decided to create a tunnel through the snow from his Summerside, Prince Edward Island front door to his driveway.
It took six hours for Marcel Landry, 26, to dig through nearly 3 feet of snow, but that might be due to the fact he was using a broken plastic shovel and a hockey stick. That's because his steel shovels were out in the shed, which was of course covered by snow.
"I was coming in every now and then to get her to use the car keys to beep the horn and I'd go back in the tunnel to listen and see a light flashing and know in which direction to dig and then I'd probe the hockey stick to see if I was getting close as the horn got louder," he said to ABC News. "Finally I found the first car, 25 feet in."
The work was worth it though, as he now has a 25 foot tunnel to his car. Landry told ABC News that while he was digging he would ask his fiancée to periodically use the key remote to honk the car horn to make sure he is heading in the right direction.
"I was coming in every now and then to get her to use the car keys to beep the horn and I'd go back in the tunnel to listen and see a light flashing and know in which direction to dig and then I'd probe the hockey stick to see if I was getting close as the horn got louder," he said to ABC News. "Finally I found the first car, 25 feet in."
It took another week to actually get the cars out of his driveway however.
"We just got the cars out on the 21st, last Saturday, after almost a whole week of shoveling and having fun in the snow," Landry said.
The fifth grade teacher had a whole week off of school due to the snow, according to ABC News. He confirmed that the tunnel is still standing, but it's a bit diminished due to Mother Nature.
