Yup, drove home from work in it. Suppose to get freezing rain after midnight. Sigh~ Enjoy your warm weather, after our deep freeze we are thrilled to be in the 20's by day here.

Oh, we will send you some snow if you wish....here is what one entrepreneur is doing.

Snowing money? Man ships Boston snow from yard



A Massachusetts man is capitalizing on the snow-ravaged Northeast by selling and shipping snow to customers, friends, family and enemies in warmer climates.

And with snowstorms hitting the Northeast weekly, it just keeps snowing money for Kyle Waring, the founder of ShipSnowYo.com.

Waring told Boston.com that he and his wife were shoveling their yard just north of Boston when they came up with the idea to send snow to friends and family.

In case you were planning to send more snow to areas already hit hard, that's not an option. According to the website, they "will not ship snow to any states in the Northeast! We're in the business of expunging snow!"

Waring originally offered 16.9-ounce snow-filled water bottles for $19.99, but found that the snow melted by the time it reached its destination. The solution: six pounds of snow for $89 and a 10-pound option for $119. He told Boston.com he's been selling out of the product.
