Selling snow to places that don't have any

For $89, self-styled entrepreneur Kyle Waring will ship you 6 pounds of Boston-area snow in an insulated Styrofoam box, enough for 10 to 15 snowballs, he says.

It all started a few weeks ago, when Waring and his wife were shoveling deep snow from their yard in Manchester-by-the-Sea, a coastal suburb north of Boston. He joked about shipping the stuff to friends and family in warmer states, and an idea was born. His snow is, as of this writing, flying off the shelves, mostly to warmer state residents looking for gag gifts.

Not something we recommend, but residents of Boston definitely have cabin fever after experiencing several storms back to back. In fact, many were jumping out of windows into snowbanks in their underwear and posting their dives to social media, hashtagging their adventures as #theBostonBlizzardChallenge.

Mayor Martin Walsh addressed the incidents in a press conference saying, "The last thing we want to do is respond to an emergency call where somebody jumped out of the window because they thought it was a funny thing to do." (Source)
