The end of the holiday season brings sales galore but didn't provide much in the way of the fluffy white stuff across North america. As usual whenever a commodity is in short supply, some enterprising people tried to find a way to make a buck off it. And since this is the 21st century, the transaction occurred on eBay.

The Associated Press reported that 10 people offered to pay $25 US for snow from Colorado after a couple in the state put samples up for auction over the holidays. The undisclosed quantities of snow hail from two storms dubbed Blizzard I and Blizzard II, the sellers said. A second sale from the same owners has produced a high bid of $38.99.

The resulting flurry of activity also appears to have enticed others to offer their own driveway discards. Perhaps ski-hill operators should consider purchasing it in bulk.
