In the ultimate American dream story, a Boston based man started a business that will ship snow from this area to people in warmer climates.

It's very similar to the playful business model of Ship Your Enemies Glitter (a service that brags, "want to piss off someone you dislike for only $9.99? Let us send them some stupid f---ing glitter that is guaranteed to go everywhere"). Only sending someone snow is a lot nicer than glitter.

And it's a great way to take advantage of Mother Nature's winter punishment.

The genius behind it all is Kyle Waring. A joke between him and his wife about getting rid of all the snow by sending it to people in warm cities soon turned into a legitimate business with ShipSnowYo.com.

The people who send you pictures, or Facebook updates, of sunsets, and temperatures in the mid-70s when they see New England getting buried in snow? Those are the people you want to send snow to.

ShipSnowYo.com offered to send a 16.9 ounce plastic water bottle packed with snow for a low low price of $19.99. Unfortunately, the snow didn't last long and recipients would end up with just a boring bottle of melted snow, or water as scientists refer to it as.

Back to the drawing board Waring went and came up with a new product: 6 lbs of snow for only $89. It's packed in a plastic bag, wrapped in tin foil, and then sealed in an insulated container.

ShipSnowYo.com has carried out 133 orders thus far. Do the math; this guy is making money!
