During the clip, Mr Valsson stands outside his property and begins to chuckle before saying: ‘Think there used to be a window here.’ 

After witnessing the effects of the latest snow storm to grapple the nation, the startled homeowner points the camera in the direction of where the door was once visible and shows how it is now completely hidden from view due to the snow.

He says: ‘This is the door and I was trying to get out of the house using this and now I see why that wasn’t working. Goodness!’

The Icelandic storm, which led to a red weather warning being issued for the Northeast part of the country, saw violent storms and blizzards sweep across the nation.
