A chinook can come down off the foothills at midnight, scour a Lakewood street bare within the hour, and still leave a drift shoulder-high across the one driveway that faced the wrong way. Snowman Snow Plow Services deals in exactly that unevenness — plowing, shoveling and de-icing wherever the wind decided to pile it all up. Out toward Applewood and the older lanes, the cuts get worked by hand where a blade would catch, then the aprons get opened clean out to the street. By the time the sun climbs over the plains and the melt starts, the pavement underneath is already free. Winter here is never steady, so the work isn't either: it's the storm, answered.
