Weather prompts shovel issues

If you still need supplies to clear the snow, they may be hard to find.
We did some checking for you.
The Home Depot on Wanamaker says it has more than a 100 bags each of salt and sand, but shovels are nearly sold out and the store has no snowblowers.
Topeka's Lowe's store also has hundreds of bags of salt and sand but store managers say they're sold out of snowblowers and will not have any until next winter.
And police warn you not to shovel snow from your sidewalks and driveways into the street.
If caught, you'll receive a $100 ticket.
Keep an eye on Topeka's weather with the 49 ABC News Sky Cam.
