No shovel? No problem. All you need this winter to get your car out after a blizzard is your iPhone.
An app called Yeti will connect you with a “Yeti” or someone who has signed up on the app to make money from their shoveling skills. The app currently only support snow removal for cars and will expand to other surfaces – such as sidewalks and driveways - next season
