People in Regina are still digging themselves out from Saskatchewan's first winter storm that hit the southern part of the province this weekend.

Neil Robertson was one of many shoppers in in the city looking for snow blowers and shovels at a local hardware store.

"I think I've cleared the snow four times at my place and once at my mother's," he said.

A manager at the hardware store said they were prepared for the demand with stock left over from last year's milder winter.

Chris Butz works as a professional snow remover in Regina. He says he tries to have driveways and sidewalks cleared for people within a day after the snowfall.

City crews in Regina and Saskatoon are also working to get streets cleared up.
