Getting used to there being snow again

Getting used to there being snow again

MILWAUKEE -- The snow that fell on Tuesday, December 18th was the first we've seen since March. Preparations started early and FOX6 News was there to document it.

Sales of snow-related items at Elliott's Ace Hardware in West Allis have been extremely slow this season -- until now. That got store manager Tom Ordman excited.

"Hopefully, they'll be coming in to get their shovels and salt products, yeah, keep our fingers-crossed," said Ordman.
