As you may have seen, the United States of America is currently experiencing some fairly extreme weather.

This can lead to a number of incredibly cool things happening: People snowboarding down the street, a whole host of people falling over on the ice and then this...

The video was captured by YouTuber Nick Colvin and has already generated a not insignificant half a million video views already.
