Marv Orsburn was spending a week at a cabin in Payson. While shoveling snow, he was caught in a drift of snow from the cabin roof, the television station reported.

"I thought it was a few chunks, and it just kept coming and coming and coming," Orsburn told KNXV.

Surveillance video showed Orsburn being covered by massive chunks of snow that had fallen 25 feet from the cabin roof, burying him.

“It was from the middle of his back down to his knees or just below his knees," said Orsburn’s wife, Cheryl Orsburn. “He was alive. And he was talking, and he was just, like, 'Hurry up, it’s cold!'”

Cheryl Orsburn managed to dig her husband out of the hole.

"I kept thinking, 'Did I break something?'" Marv Orsburn told KNXV. "Nothing hurts, you just can't move anything."
