A significant winter storm has swept across Utah, prompting residents to prepare for harsh conditions. The storm, which is expected to bring about considerable snowfall to various regions, has led to a surge in demand for winter supplies, particularly at hardware stores.
The ACE hardware store in downtown Salt Lake City is one such hub of activity. The store manager, Gary Mackelprang, reports that the store has been exceptionally busy with customers seeking essential items like snow melt and snow shovels. This marks the first major rush for winter supplies this season. The store has strategically placed its snow and ice melt products at the front of the store to cater to the increased demand.
According to Mackelprang, the store receives two large shipments each week, with snow melt being a significant part of these deliveries. He advises residents to use ice melt instead of sand for sidewalks and driveways. Eco-friendly and pet-safe options are readily available for those with environmental or pet concerns. For residents with large driveways and sidewalks, he suggests keeping a stock of these supplies at home.
Aside from snow melt and shovels, Mackelprang also recommends keeping snow brushes and ice scrapers in vehicles for safety during winter driving conditions. He acknowledges the availability of snowblowers and a variety of shovels, noting that the choice largely depends on the type of surface and personal preference.
With another storm expected to hit the state next week, Utah residents are urged to prepare for widespread winter driving conditions and elevated avalanche danger. As the state braces for more snowfall, hardware stores like ACE in Salt Lake City are playing a critical role in helping locals gear up for the harsh winter weather.
