BOSTON — A Boston-area man has come up with a creative, and potentially profitable, way to get rid of the record-breaking snow dumped on Beantown this winter — sell it. Kyle Waring first created ShipSnowYo.com as a joke to share with family and friends. But the idea has spread and much like the snow, stuck around.
“I put the snow in a plastic bag, and put that in tinfoil,” Waring told Boston.com. “Then I put that package in an insulated container that’s an inch and a half thick, and ship it overnight. It’s sealed tight in Omaha steaks packaging.”
Waring charges $90 for six pounds of his snow. He promised the snow can be delivered in less than 20 hours.
The storms so far on the northeast have broken historic records andcontinues to release its anger on the city of Boston. Over 70 inches of snow have been dumped on the Greater Boston area in the last 17 days. This is your chance to not only own a piece of history, but also help save Boston from #Snowmageddon2015! Every order counts! Note: We will not ship snow to any states in the northeast! We’re in the business of expunging snow!
Will Waring’s business melt away once the snow stops falling?
“At this rate, it’s going to be July until the snow melts,” he told Boston.com. “But I’ve thought about taking this idea and running with it for other seasonal items. Maybe I’ll ship some fall foliage.”
