The first real storm of December usually announces itself over Quincy Reservoir, the far shore going soft and then vanishing altogether while the wind swings around to the northeast. Leal Snow Removal is loaded and waiting by then, because the difference between an easy morning and a hard one is whether somebody reached the driveway before it was driven on. Plowing, shoveling out the walks and steps, salting the shaded run beside the garage where the drip line refreezes every night. Aurora storms can be finished in three hours or grind on for two days, and either way the drive gets opened. Snow removal in Aurora, Centennial, Parker and Foxfield.
