When a nor'easter comes up the Naugatuck valley, Waterbury gets it in the dark — wind funneling along the Route 8 corridor, the Brooklyn and Baldwin Street blocks filling in fast between parked cars. Pino painting lawn care and snow removal turns out for it, plowing driveways and lots and clearing the walkways that get buried twice, once by the sky and once by the road crew. On narrow streets there is a real art to where the snow goes, and a bad push costs somebody a parking spot until March. Do it right and the morning is easy: pavement showing, banks squared, nobody stuck. That is winter work in Waterbury, done through the night so the day can start.
