About Ullom Construction and Snow Removal

Storm Lake earned its name honestly — the water sits wide and flat with almost nothing around it to break the wind, and a clear morning can turn white in the time it takes to load a truck. Ullom Construction and Snow Removal clears lots and access roads on the industrial side of town well before the plant's early shift changes, so the parking rows are open when workers arrive in the dark. The lake itself holds a skin of ice by December, gray under a sky the same color, while the wind keeps piling drifts against anything standing still — a loading dock, a fence line, a row of parked trucks. Buena Vista University's campus streets need the same steady attention on the other side of town, walks and lots cleared before the first classes of the day. It's a wind-driven kind of winter here, and the work follows the wind as much as the storm.
