The massive amount of snow in front of his seafood market wasn't going anywhere so Dimauro and his staff are making the best of a snowy situation—they sculpted a 6-foot-by-25-foot lobster right out front.

"We're thinking about putting a slab of butter right behind it," Dimauro said. "I had one lady come in from across the river in Nyack and said I came in just to see the lobster."

Dimauro explained the lobster is a female and has been painted all the appropriate colors.

"It's just fun watching the kids. One was scared to go near it. It was really neat," he said. "One lady said I haven't been smiling for the last three weeks and I drove by your store today and just laughed so make the best of a bad thing."
