    A "For Sale" sign pokes out of about 4 feet of snow in the front yard of a home listed in Derry, N.H., Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015.  APMassachusetts – A Massachusetts man has found a way to profit from the several feet of snow in his yard: He’s shipping it to people in warmer climates for the bargain price of $89 for six pounds.

    Kyle Waring, of Manchester-by-the-Sea, got the idea while shoveling snow earlier this winter and launched ShipSnowYo.com.

    At first he shipped 16.9-ounce snow-filled bottles for $19.99, but he found the snow melted by the time it arrived at its destination.

    So he came up with a new plan, selling six pounds at a time. He tells Boston.com (http://bit.ly/17SWbEt ) even if the snow melts a little by the time it arrives, the package can still make 10 to 15 snowballs.

    He’s also started offering 10-pound packages for $119.

    He says he’ll keep selling until people stop ordering.

    Im thinking of selling some of the cool air we have in New York. I wonder what his return policy is like.

    Nu old news, that’s what the Baal Shem Tov would say, the ultimate reason for the arctic weather these days was to blow the wind to blow the snow to this man’s back yard so that he should be able to pay his heating bill and be able to get some sleep.
    So *that’s* why it snowed.
