You're clearing the snow incorrectly – an Amish technique I learned is easier and more fun

If you're having trouble clearing the inches of snow that's piled up outside your home, the Amish have come up with an easier way.

There is another way of creating that is much more interesting.

TikToker Sabrina (@this.is.sabrina) shared a video of her friend using a grain scoop.

“Abe was Amish. I love the way he thinks,” she captioned the video, which has since been viewed more than 14 million times.

In the video, titled “Amish Snow Shoveling Technique”, Abe creates blocks of snow with his shovel and then removes them block by block.

“I find this strangely relaxing. Birds and horses in the background,” Sabrina wrote.

People in the comments section were curious about the trick and said the shovel must be heavy to handle.

“Am I the only one wondering how heavy those shovels must be?” someone asked.

Sabrina responded and said they weighed 15 to 20 pounds each.

“Well damn. I did it wrong,” said another.

“Me too! I was so fascinated by this just to hear that so many people are already doing it this way,” Sabrina replied.

“Wowwww. That's brilliant and amazing too,” wrote a third.

Cereal scoops can be purchased at Ace Hardware, where they retail for $32.99.

But be careful.

Shoveling snow can be a dangerous activity for some people, the newspaper said American Heart Association.

At least 100 people in the US die every year while shoveling snow, they said, after suffering a heart attack.
