Brighton wakes up between two kinds of country: the Front Range standing blue in the west, and the open plain running east past Barr Lake until the sky takes over. Storms here don't tiptoe in. They come down off the mountains and lay the farm roads and the South Platte bottomlands flat and white overnight. Yeti Complete Services LLC works those hours, plowing driveways and parking lots, clearing walks by hand where a blade can't reach, and putting down ice melt on the steps and entries that freeze hardest once the wind finds them. There is real satisfaction in a lot opened wide and square before the first truck rolls in, in the clean line a plow leaves along a curb, in a walkway a person can cross in ordinary shoes. Seasonal snow accounts mean nobody has to watch the forecast and wonder. By the time the sun comes up over the fields and the air turns bright and cold, the work is already behind them, and Brighton just goes about its morning.
