Even as the East Coast of the United States reels from the huge blizzard with struck the region last weekend, residents in the cities on the coastline are making most of the situation. 

From using the blanket of snow to skateboard to building an igloo, here's a look at the crazy things people did as they were stuck in the blizzard. 

1) Built an igloo and list it on Airbnb

One Brooklyn citizen, Patrick Horton, built a 8ft boutique igloo in his garden and put it up on Airbnb for $200 (£140) a night per couple. But Airbnb removed the listing soon after telling him it was unfit for living

2) Snowboard in the city

Many put their Go Pro cameras and skating gears to good use through the quiet NYC streets.

3) Freezing their jeans

In what has now become a social media trend, people have been freezing their jeans in the snow.
