Bus gets stuck in snow, driver plays a game with scholars
This is how they get out of a ditch in Michigan snow...
That's one thing we may not understand fully because we don't get snow in our part of the country.
But it certainly left us entertained knowing that even school buses have ways of getting out of the heaps of snow that are being experienced in parts of the US.
"Snow in western New York topped six feet (1.8 meters) in some areas as winds off Lake Erie generated non-stop snowfall. Areas of Michigan also received significant snowfall thanks to the warm waters of Lake Michigan, with the west Michigan town of Kalamazoo seeing two feet (61 centimeters) over the weekend." (MSN)
A video that was shared on social media gave us a bird's eye view into what people living in Kalamazoo are going through with the snowfall.
A TikTok video shows how a group of school kids got together to help their school bus driver get out of the snow.
"As the video zooms in, we see the school children fervently rocking back and forth in their seats, trying their best to get the bus moving." (MSN)
WATCH the video of the kids entertaining a house full of neighbours.

The kids definitely deserved a thumbs up for their effort in trying to help the driver.
We're sure they must have had some fun in the process.
What also captured our attention about this was the number of comments from adults who shared their personal experience with this during their childhood.
alyssa taylor: "i imagine the bus driver chanting ROW ROW ROW 😂 i had an Italian bus driver in ND who came from being a taxi driver in NYC. he was the best!"
Regina Philange: "Vermont kid here. we jumped up and down😂😂😂😂"
Mommy Farmer: "This is what our country bus on gravel roads had us do! 😂 I remember them telling us all to get on one side to help get out of the ditch."
