Hardware stores are preparing just as much as you are for this upcoming messy weather week that includes some rain, sleet, snow and ice across different parts of the state.

Assistant manager John Madson says the shovels, salt and ice melt are popular items at Jerry's Do It Best Hardware in Edina. He says they're selling out of ice melt pellets in one day, but he's been restocking as fast as they've been selling.

"Knowing that a storm is coming, we've ordered accordingly," said Madson.
