Storms here often do their real work between midnight and five, dropping a dry, weightless powder that fills a driveway without a sound. Wilber's Snow Removal Services is awake for that — plowing drives and lots, shoveling the steps and walks, spreading traction on the shaded stretches where meltwater turns to glass by morning. In Carbondale a lot of people are on the road early, headed up or down the valley before it is light, and a cleared driveway is the difference between a normal day and a bad one. Deep storms mean going around twice, once during and once after, so nothing sets up hard. Daybreak, and the pavement is black and open again.
