East of the city the ground opens all the way out toward Falcon and Peyton, and snow out there rarely falls straight — it travels, piling against anything upright and leaving the open prairie swept nearly bare. Big Blu's Fencing plows and clears in that country and back into Colorado Springs, where a long county drive can close twice in one night while a short town drive needs only a clean scrape. Walks and entries get shoveled down to the concrete, and ice treatment goes where the wind has polished the surface smooth. The trick on the plains is knowing which side of a thing the drift will build on, and putting the pile where the next wind will not hand it straight back. When the sun clears that flat horizon over an open drive, the day starts on schedule.
