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.

What's the point in buying snow? I can understand ice, but snow?

I wonder how she plans to transport that snow to Europe. We kinda need snow here, because there's not a single bit of snow here. She could make a killer...
