Greeley's cold is dry and bright, which fools people: the snow softens at noon and refreezes at dusk into something harder than snow ever was. Crush Services goes after that layer — breaking up hardpack at the curb, scraping walks back to concrete, spreading de-icer on the steps and entries where a slip actually happens. Plowed drives and cleared lots come first, then the second round after the wind rearranges everything. The sound of ice letting go under a blade is worth the early alarm. Snow and ice work across Greeley and nearby Evans, Windsor and Johnstown.
