In a report from USA Today, a man from Massachusetts is using the heavy snowfall in the Northeast as a great business opportunity. Kyle Waring of Massachusetts is selling his snow to friends, family and customers to warmer climates.

Boston.com reported that Waring and his wife had just been shoveling their driveway one day when they came up with the idea to try and sell the snow to make a profit. Snowstorms have been repeatedly hitting the Northeast hard, so as more and more snow is falling, Waring and his family are receiving more and more money.

According to USA Today, Waring is selling his snow for $89 for six pounds and $119 for 10 pounds. Waring is also only selling to states that are not in the Northeast — not that any states in the Northeast would really need to purchase snow anyway due to the heavy snowfall that is constantly occurring.

Within 20 hours, Waring can pack up the snow and ship it to his customers and buyers can expect to receive their snow in about 20 hours. Boston.com reported that even though snow is going to melt when it reaches the warmer climates, customers can expect to get at least 10 to 15 snowballs out of their shipments.

Why would anybody want to actually buy snow? It is unknown. However, for people who used to live in snow acquiring states that have moved to warmer areas where there is no snow, this grants them a unique opportunity to attain snow and do whatever they want with it, whether it be have a snowball fight, build a snowman, et cetera.

Even though Massachusetts is witnessing heavy snowfall throughout the winter, this snowfall will not last forever and eventually the snow will stop falling and business will start to decline. However, Boston.com reported that Waring is interested in making this into a seasonal business and something that can be expected to occur in the coming years.

So if someone is going to take a winter trip to a tropical place where there is no snow, never forget that there is now an option to have snow shipped to the location and even in the warmest of climates one can still participate in regular winter activities.
