Bank Street runs downhill to the water, and a February storm in New London arrives sideways off the Sound and packs itself hard against every north-facing door. Local HandyMan works the snow side of that weather, clearing drives and walks so a car can get out and a morning can start on time. Winter in a harbor city is wet and heavy and quick to freeze at the edges, which makes the gap between a path cleared and a path half-cleared a real one. The reward is simple and worth having — an open driveway at first light, dark pavement showing, and the day free to go ahead as planned.
