From the ridges in Ute Valley Park you can watch a storm stack itself along the Rampart Range for an hour before it ever reaches the neighborhoods below. Double Effort, Inc. plans around exactly that — plowing and shoveling once to open a drive while snow is still coming down, then returning to take it to the pavement after the sky has finished. Walks, steps and entries get cleared by hand, and ice treatment goes where the sun will not reach before dark. A Colorado Springs storm frequently has two acts, a wet beginning and a dry ending, and treating it as one job leaves a frozen ridge across the apron. Going twice is not extra work; it is simply what the weather here asks for.
