A New Hampshire man is lucky to be alive after being buried under a pile of snow for 3 hours.

Drew Mullins, 48, became trapped by falling snow while he was clearing off his metal roof, according to WMUR. The small avalanche knocked him on his back and left him unable to move.

Hours went by and the only snow that melted was around his head. Mullins was concious the whole time and worried for his life.

Luckily he was eventually found when his wife returned home and heard his muffled cries for help. He was dug out by first responders and taken to the hospital soon after.
