The Anschutz Medical Campus never really goes dark, and the streets around Fitzsimons carry people to work at hours most of the city sleeps through. WE Solutions runs its snow work on that clock — plows moving at two in the morning, lots opened before the shift change, sidewalks shoveled and treated while the sky over the plains is still the colour of nothing. Aurora storms often quit by dawn and leave the hard part behind: packed tire ruts, a berm across every entrance, black ice sitting in the shadows. Clearing that is unglamorous and it is precisely the job. The measure of it is a parking lot at six in the morning that looks like nothing ever happened.
