MANKATO, Minn. -

With this winter much more active than last year's, residentsare stocking up and upgrading their snow removal equipment.

At C & S Supply in Mankato, they say the snow has helpeddrive up sales on everything from snow blowers and shovels to winter boots andhats.

While things are flying of the shelves a lot faster than lastyear, employees say they have been able to keep a good–sized inventory.

David Page at C & S supply says, "We usually havequite a bit on stock because we know this is going to happen because it iswinter relates, so we are usually pretty stocked up."

C & S has run out of their top snow blower already, butthey have more on the way.

Employees say Mother Nature drive sales at places likeC and S supply, so after last year, they were happy to see snow.
