A hardware store in Bethesda, Md., demonstrated a novel way to plow snow on the street Tuesday morning after a winter storm pummeled the Washington D.C. area.
David Goldberg of Union Hardware whizzed down the street on this motorized toilet with a snow plow attached — nicknamed “Loo-cy” (it has also gone by “Loo-Cille” ). He told WUSA 9 he made the contraption for the local pride parade last summer and just tacked on the snow plow recently.
No word on whether this snow plow is heading up to Boston .
