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. Video Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDqzQwKwvxo

<p>The New England Patriots weren't always a NFL powerhouse. Far from it.</p> <p>But for many years they have stretched the rules for the sake of winning. And that started with the infamous "snow plow game."</p> <p>In 1981, the Patriots were 2-14 and the only team to lose to the lowly Baltimore Colts — which they did twice — and ended the season with a nine-game losing streak.</p>

>>Graphics Warning<< These photos were taken on the Bellwood Subdivision, between Seward and David City, Nebraska on the BNSF RR. Seward is about 25 miles west of Lincoln , on the Ravenna Sub. A few blizzards and sub zero temperatures coupled with moderate winds made for a beautiful, but, flash frozen environment. A freight train was snowed in at David City and a rotary snow plow was sent to clear the track of drifts that varied from 6ft or less up to 12ft in spots!! The photos were taken on Jan. 8th through Jan. 10th.  

I sincerely doubt the case of Mr. Edward Haas - a respectable 76-year-old citizen of West Bend who now stands charged with pointing a shotgun in the general direction of a snowplow driver who nailed his mailbox - will ever go to trial. But I know who I'd call if I were his defense attorney. Dan Danielson has lived on Park Ave. in West Bend for about 20 years. His mailbox, he says, has been hit by a snowplow "at least 20 times." Correction: make that mailboxes. He is, he says, on at least his third or fourth. His box...

Japanese Robot Eats Snow, Poops Out Bricks of Ice Wednesday, January 02, 2008 What's cute, yellow, eats snow and poops out bricks of ice? Meet Yuki-taro, a Japanese robot built to quickly clear roads after heavy snows. The cute little guy, about 5 feet long and 2 and a half feet high, simply plows into snowbanks, taking in the white stuff, compressing it and neatly stacking it in two-foot-long bricks on his rear bed. Created by a consortium of private companies, municipal governments and university researchers, Yuki-taro is equipped with two video cameras in his "eyes" as well as a...

Kevin Joyce, of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. Deane Storey, 49, of Yarmouth, was driving south in a Ford Contour when he had to swerve suddenly to avoid hitting a Chevrolet...
