Snow for sale ...

Jerry Freeman · Post by **Jerry Freeman** » Sun Jan 26, 2003 9:28 pm

I've mentioned this in another post, but I thought I'd better put it in a separate thread in case anyone missed it.

I have several thousand tons of genuine lake effect (Lake Ontario) snow available for the highest bidder. This is the very best quality snow, and it's in excellent condition, has been kept refrigerated, has had only one owner who just used it for light sledding.

If no one here is interested, I'll be putting it up on eBay in a few days.

Thank you and good luck with your bidding.

Best wishes,
Jerry

P.S. Buyer arranges shipping.

Well, since we have established that it is a valuable commodity, I have TONS of nothing that I can trade!

Just send all the snow you can manage to Phoenix, Arizona (Oh, PLEASE send it!), and I will send you nothing in return.

Much thanks
Aodhan

Speaking of upstate NY sticks, what part? A lot of my aunts and stuff live in and around the St. Lawrence seaway area, LaFargeville, and that area.

A shame they didn't seem to save the pics, I remember seeing this auction when it really was on ebay:

I have several tons of the same lake effect snow here in Buffalo, NY. If you buy from me there won't be any customs declarations nor import taxes, not to mention the tedious calculations involved in converting US Nothing ot Canadian Nothing. Buyer pays fixed shipping cost to be specified

Excuse me, Bryan.

I mean no disrespect towards your Buffalo lake effect snow, but it's not the same as my lake effect snow.

Your lake effect snow is Lake Erie snow. Mine is Lake Ontario snow. I believe anyone who collects lake effect snow would recognize the difference. It's a matter of personal preference which lake effect snow each collector would consider the more desirable.

Best wishes,
Jerry

P.S. If it will help anyone decide, I'm willing to record and post sound clips for you to evaluate. This will involve a fair amount of effort, so please don't ask for sound clips if you're not seriously interested in buying this snow.

Jerry, I'll take the whole lot. I will pick up the tab for shipping, provided you ship via Mother Earth Shipping Services (MESS) MESS will pick up the shipment this spring and deliver it to me next fall in liquid form. The service is slow and lately unreliable, but you can't beat the cost.

Will you take a rain check?

Here in Rochester, we've got Lake Erie and Lake Ontario snow. Anyone purchasing their snow from me need only order the one style and the other style will be included for free! Hours of fun comparing the snowflake patterns from two of the five Great Lakes!

Please take some of this stuff

...it took me 10 minutes to get my car out of a snowbank this morning....

I'll take several thousand tons...we in Utah are in our third or fourth year of severe drought, and we really need it. At my house we've had snow maybe twice this year so far and it stayed for only a few hours...just a half inch or so each time. I can't afford to pay you anything but I can make you some cornbread or cinnamon rolls!

The Super Bowl was on?

Hmm, I guess I knew that...because there was absolutely nothing good on any of the other channels. I guess they figured everyone was watching it--but we weren't. We were disgruntled that there was nothing else entertaining on.

Is this the same kind of snow that Andrea Corr uses?
