Finally tonight, most of us have had enough of the snow this winter, but if you live in a part of the country where its a novelty, a man in Massachusetts may just be able to help you. He lives in Boston where you likely know they've had more than 100 inches of snow and he'd be happy to send plenty of it your way for a price.
Our Boston-based correspondent Ron Mott has the story:
There's no business like Kyle Waring's snow business.
"It's booming right now."
Like no business we know, mail-order snow.
"I was shovelling the front walkway with my wife and we were just kind of joking around and just talking about shipping it to our friends and family – just to get it out of our front yard.
"And when we started thinking about it, then we decided to launch a simple joke website."
His company ShipSnow,Yo is getting off the ground literally....
"Snow"
...scoop by scoop and with this much snow, something had to give. More precisely, some of you, paying $19.99 for a bottle or 90 bucks for a styrofoam container of Kyle's snow.
Sales are heating up – more than 130 orders and counting, he can hardly keep up.
"So we bought some." You're welcome, you're part of history now with us."
Although he can't exactly promise it won't melt before arrival.
"We're struggling to pack the snow and get it shipped out as fast as possible, so I had to bring in my brother."
Still business is solid, even as the product itself is flaky. Some here have advertised "free snow" with few, if any takers. Kyle Waring has figured out a basic secret of commerce...
"I'm just kind of...I'm really excited about it and at the same time, it's like 'How is this possible?'"
"Ready to ship"
...that while the best things in life might be free, sometimes you can take them to the bank.
