Meet the Hero Shoveling Snow in a Dinosaur Costume

His wife caught it all on camera
With up to two feet of snow expected to fall in parts of Kentucky, and a winter blizzard working its way up the northeast, Americans will be shoveling snow all weekend long.
The chore gets very old very quickly, so thats why Cliff White, a soldier based at Fort Campbell, Ky., accepted a neighbors challenge Friday morning to shovel snow in his Tyrannosaurus rex Halloween costume while his wife Amy had the camera rolling.
It was spur of the moment, says White, 39, a member of the Armys 2nd Brigade Combat Team. I cant go to work because of the snow, so I thought, Ill just have some fun. Were all going to get a good laugh out of it.
Facebook users around the world are getting a good laugh out of it, too, as the video has racked up more than 1.3 million views since his wife first uploaded it around 9:30 a.m.
He claims the suit didnt get in the way of the shoveling at all. I was in my boxers because that thing warms up real good, he says, but besides T. Rex having such short arms, it was really comfortable. I could do this all day.

I know they're enjoying all the snow we received, it's a rare treat here.
As long as you don't have to drive in it snow's a blast.
