A Massachusetts man is doing his part to clear the record-setting amounts of snow currently blanketing the ground. Boston has suffered 99.9 inches of snow, just 7.7 inches away from the all-time record of 107.6 inches set in 1995-1996.
He's not using it to reclaim a parking spot like some other
snow-mad Bostonians -- he's being a true American and selling his misery to others.
Kyle Waring, a resident of Manchester-by-the-Sea (a small town on the North Shore of Massachusetts), began selling water bottles full of snow on his website Shipsnowyo.com a few weeks ago, and quickly sold out of the 16 ounce bottles. Not long after, he introduced an option to buy a six pound cube of the stuff for $89, and is considering launching a ten pound package for $119.
If you order the 16 ounce option, here's what you'll receive:

But sadly, there is no option to have this dog deliver your snow yet:

A note to fellow New Englanders: Waring states that he will not ship snow anywhere in the northeast, writing, "We're in the business of expunging snow!"
