It began by a kind of joke; a man from a nearby city who was already fed up of the snow that we had thus far (and that was a nightmare to clear from the streets) decided to put the 9-feet-high snowbank on his front yard for sale on eBay at a starting price of 99 cents. Things "snowballed", and the auction ended tonight with a winning bid of... 3550$!
Short news article here (only in French, sorry).
The man signed an agreement with a charity organism for sick children in order to give them the money, and added that he was ready to give away the snowbank in his backyard as well should the buyer want it... Whether or not the buyer will actually want to bring his snowbank at home is unknown at this time. ;D
