Marlene Downing is a 82-years-old woman who won't let the snow stop her.

This lady was in below zero temperatures removing snow from her own driveway, what a brave soul.

"I was waiting for this snow," Downing told WZZM. She said that the cold reminds her of growing up in Harvey, North Dakota, as a youth, adding, "they never shut anything down" in Harvey.

She is in her element.

"They think I'm crazy," Downing said, referring to her children and grandchildren. They've told her before to stay inside and give up snow blowing, she said, but that obviously hasn't stopped her.

They call her 'snow blowing granny' in a Facebook post that went viral. Go Granny!
