Bringing the heat!
A Kentucky man is going viral for his unconventional idea of clearing the snow in his driveway with a flamethrower.
Timothy Browning stunned fans after a relative filmed him standing in his driveway wearing nothing but a white bathrobe, socks, slippers and a hat, recreating Cousin Eddie from the iconic holiday movie "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
While his attire alone would turn heads, it was Browning's unique method of removing snow from his driveway with a flamethrower that won the Internet.

"Browning snow services removal now available!" a woman filming Browning, of Ashland, Ky., says at the start of the video.
In the nearly 30-second clip, Browning chugs a beer and throws it on the ground as he casually watches the giant flames in front of him melt away the flakes.
"God bless American rednecks!" Browning wrote on Facebook, where he posted the footage.

The tweet was viewed over 120,000 times after it was posted on Christmas. Viewers were quick to react on social media, referring to Browning as a "genius" and asking how to get their hands on a flamethrower.
