After a big storm the roofs across Rifle each wear a foot of snow and the whole town looks quieter than it actually is. Scarlett Roofing LLC works the winter ground below those eaves — plowing driveways and lots, clearing walkways, and dealing with the ice that builds where roof snow slides off and refreezes on pavement. Blue morning light on new snow is a lovely thing to look at and a serious amount of weight to move. They open the routes people actually use: the drive, the path to the door, the patch of walk where the mail carrier stands. Then it snows again, and they come back.
