On the high open ground out near E-470 the wind does the sculpting and the snowfall total means almost nothing. Three inches can leave one lane swept down to bare asphalt and set a two-foot cornice across an entrance forty feet away, and HighPoint Outdoor Designs LLC plans for the second one. Plowing drives and lots, cutting drifts back well past the edge so the next gust has somewhere to drop its load, shoveling walks and steps, laying ice melt where the wind has polished the surface to a shine. It's a colder, brighter, emptier kind of work, out where you can watch a whole storm coming for twenty minutes before it reaches you. Then it arrives, and the blade goes down.
