GENIUS!

Lazy Bostonians now have a shovel in their pocket. A new app is almost ready for the citizens of the big city. It's basically the Uber of shoveling, titled Yeti. It's inspired by the Boston Yeti, a dude who dressed up as a Yeti during last year's disgustingly long winter.

Like Uber, a snow entombed person drops a pin on a map where their vehicle is parked. The app then finds a nearby 'Yeti' to come uncover the vehicle. The Yeti will snap before and after pictures to show off their good, or bad, work. The buyer rates the shoveling job to maintain a high level of service. Prices for Yeti's will be based on demand, and possibly need-based pricing. If the buyer needs to be on the road ASAP, they'll pay more. Unlike Uber, cost isn't based on how quickly the job is done.

The app should be ready by Boston's first big snow storm of the season.

Why has no one thought on doing this in Bangor?! TAKE ALL MY MONEY!
