A chinook can come down warm off the mountains and take six inches off a Loveland driveway before noon, then leave a sheet of glass behind the moment the sun drops behind the ridge. Clean & Cut Contracting works both those halves — the plowing and shoveling first, then the ice, because in this town the refreeze is what actually puts people on the ground. Out along Namaqua Road and through the older streets, drives and walks are cleared down to the surface so there's nothing left to harden at dusk. Winters here run as long stretches of dry brown ground punctuated by storms that mean business, and the work is being ready for the punctuation. A driveway open at dawn and still safe after dark is the whole point.
