 The snowstorm this past weekend had many people outside snowblowing and shoveling their driveways and with more snow expected to fall in the upcoming days some stores are already experiencing a shorter a shortage on winter supplies. Lakeland news reporter Milok Khattab has more. This winter season has been an unusually long one for Bemidji. With the roads still pretty icy and the snow very much intact people are having a difficult time finding snow supplies. A store manager Justin Johnson tells me that roof rakes have been in high demand because people have been experiencing leaks and ice dam buildups. A lot of snow and a lot of weight on top of the roof on the structure of the houses and buildings so roof rakes by far has been the most out after item shovels as well that's that's also been a big hit lately. The store manager says Ace Hardware has been out of roof rakes for over a week. One of the main issues Johnson says comes from the suppliers that Ace Hardware gets their products from. So they're a little bit behind in production in certain areas of the country and we're trying to logistically work out how we're getting them and where we're getting them from in a certain amount of time but over the last week and a half here we've our hands have been tied as far as getting in the end of the store. This aisle typically has all the winter supplies such as snowblowers, shovels, roof rakes but because there's a shortage they decided to move them all to the front and they needed to fill up these shelves. Right now it's since we can't get any and we don't have any we're already setting up some some garden fertilizer because we're doing our best to get to make sure spring eventually arrives here.
