Most of the real work happens between midnight and six, when the lots along Post Boulevard are empty and the storm is still coming down. Freeman Paving and Sealcoating runs snow removal in Avon — plowing, stacking, and clearing entries and access lanes so the morning finds pavement instead of drifts. A system tracking the I-70 corridor can put down more overnight than the forecast promised, and the only answer to that is to be out in it. Headlights, a blade, one clean pass along a curb line: unglamorous work, and deeply satisfying to finish. By the time the valley wakes and the interstate goes quiet again, the lot looks like nothing ever happened there.
