Route 190 runs the high shoulder of Stafford toward Somers, and in a February gale it is the first place the drifting starts. Storms here are a night job: the phone lights up around ten, the salt goes down, and the work runs on until the last lot is opened and the sky finally quits. What matters at the end of all that is a plain, honest result — a driveway you can back out of, a walk that isn't a guess in the dark. CT Eastern Builders takes on Stafford's snow removal with that in mind, one pass and then another until it is right. Winter asks the same question every year, and the answer is just to be out in it.
