Highway 50 runs through Delta and keeps running all night, and strung along it are the lots that have to be open the moment the doors unlock — storefronts, shops, yards full of equipment. S&S Contractors plows that kind of ground, working under yard lights while the town sleeps behind it. Commercial snow is a logistics problem before it is a labor one: where the piles go, which lane opens first, how many passes before the delivery truck turns in. Get the sequence right and nobody ever knows there was a storm. Get it wrong and everybody does — which is a fine reason to be out there at two in the morning.
