East of Powers, out past Cimarron Hills where the city runs out into open grass, sunrise arrives all at once with nothing to break it, and a fresh snowfield goes from blue to gold in about a minute. DaKine Landscape Contractors is usually mid-route by then, plowing driveways, clearing walks and entries, and cutting the parking aprons at the small lots out that way. Ice treatment goes down on the shaded north sides and in the low spots that hold meltwater overnight and hand it back frozen. Wind on the east side rearranges a storm well after it has ended, so a second look later in the day is part of the plan rather than a favor. Out here the job is mostly a matter of being there before anybody needs to be anywhere.
