East of the city the land flattens toward the plains and the wind has nothing left to slow it down, so snow out there does not stay where it fell — it travels. Unlimited Landscape Services Inc plows and clears through nights like that, opening driveways, walkways and parking lots across Colorado Springs before the morning shift arrives. Drifting is its own problem: a lot can be clean at two and closed again by five, which means going back and doing it a second time. Done right it looks like an empty lot at sunrise, curbs visible, entrances wide, salt laid down where the shade holds on. They cover the Springs and out toward Falcon, Peyton and Fountain. Winter on this side of town is mostly wind and patience, and the crew brings both.
