Answer:

15,360 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are working with the volume of a Cube we will Cube 8 (8*8*8=512) and by getting this number we now know the volume of the cube-shaped box. By also knowing that 1 cubic foot of snow weighs 30 lbs we can then times 512*30 and we end up with 15, 360 lbs of snow in the uncarved cube.
