Austria has drafted in its armed forces to help clear snow banks after heavy precipitation covered the western part of the country.
The soldiers are seen shovelling snow from a roof onto a large piece of angled tarpaulin allowing it to fall to the ground in a neat pile.
Spokesman for the Ministry of Austrian Defence, Michael Bauershared, shared the video showing an effective way of clearing a build-up of snow.
Due to the extreme weather conditions, the army has been triggering explosions in the area to start controlled avalanches.
The UK Foreign Office has issued a warning to British tourists headed to Austria due to a heightened risk of avalanches.
Heavy snow and avalanches left parts of Europe paralysed last week as the number of weather-related deaths rose to at least 21.
Ski resorts were closed and mountain villages were shut off after snow blocked transport links and brought down power lines.
