F.O.B. driveway.

LOVELAND, Colo. - As if Colorado residents don't have enough snow to dig out from, one resident is offering more for a price on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for snow from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II" being offered by Mary Walker. She and husband, Jim, got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the Front Range.

I seem to recall a tale about some guy up around Duluth back in the 40s or 50s who got his beach cleared of rocks by offering tourists the opportunity to "pick their own." For a modest fee, of course. So this just might work.

Bring a truck.
