On the newer streets at Boone's outer edge, where houses have gone up on what was recently open ground, the curb lines and driveway aprons are still sharp enough that a plow blade can find every one of them by feel alone. Molitor Construction, LLC clears those newer subdivisions along with the older blocks nearer downtown, running the plow truck through the wider new streets first before switching to shovels and blowers for the tighter, older driveways closer to the rail yard. New ground holds snow differently than old ground does — fewer mature trees to break the wind, more open exposure where the county's terrain starts to roll north of town — so a single storm can leave twice the drift on a new cul-de-sac that it leaves on a shaded street downtown. Covering both kinds of neighborhood before the workday starts means splitting the route early and moving fast between them. Between the old grid and the new cul-de-sacs, the plow runs the wider streets first and finishes on foot wherever Boone's original blocks still hold their shape.
