PEI man is forced to dig a giant snow tunnel to find his car

VANCOUVER – A man in Summerside on Prince Edward Island decided the best way to his car after a snowstorm was to dig a tunnel to it.

Following the snowy winter weather that hit Canada’s east coast, Marcel Landry knew he had to do something in order to get out of his house.

“It was a job,” he said, laughing. “It required quite a bit of creativity and patience I guess.”

“Once I went outside and I started to dig, or I went to try to dig, my plastic shovel wasn’t doing the job so I had to go inside and try and find something else more solid to break the snow because it was so hard.”

So Landry found his old hockey stick and was able to break the compact snow and then dig it out with a shovel.

They had already been snowed in for a day when Landry decided to dig the tunnel. It took him about six-and-a-half hours and is about six-feet tall. The snow was about nine feet deep in total.

Both cars are now free.
