Wisconsin boy uses hoverboard as snow-clearing 'hoverplow'

Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin boy's snow-clearing ingenuity is going viral thanks to a video showing him using his hoverboard to plow snow.

Tanner Scherer, 13, appears in a YouTube video using his hoverboard and a snow shovel as a "hoverplow" to clear snow from in front of his Sun Prairie home.

"If it's like an inch or two of really light snow, that's the time it works the best," the boy told WKOW-TV.

Jodi Scherer, the boy's mother, said she admires her son's ingenuity.

"It's creative, it's inventive," Jodi said. "Tanner has always loved the snow and the winter."
