Storms reach Pagosa Springs the way they always have — over Wolf Creek Pass from the west, stacking against the divide until the sky finally lets go. ABC Snow Plowing, LLC keeps the hours nobody volunteers for: two in the morning, headlights full of falling flakes, the radio turned low. A driveway opened at that hour is a small mercy discovered at seven, when the coffee is poured and the truck starts and nothing is standing in the way. The work is plowing, shoveling the walks, and coming back around when a second round arrives ahead of daylight. In a town that counts winter in feet rather than inches, that is the entire job.
