Out past Kettlestone, where Waukee's newest development gives way to the flat Dallas County farmland it was built from, the winter sky runs edge to edge with nothing to break it, no bluff, no timber, just open ground under a low ceiling of cloud that can look the same for a whole gray week before it finally lets go of its snow. White Sky Snow Removal & Lawn LLC works that open ground and the built-up streets closer to Waukee's center alike, clearing driveways from the roundabouts near Kettlestone back to the older grid streets downtown. When a system does finally move through, it tends to come all at once here, since there's little upstream to slow a system before it arrives. The crew works each driveway down to bare pavement, clears sidewalks along both the new boulevards and the established blocks, then follows with salt ahead of the clear, cold nights that typically trail a system through this part of Iowa. By sunrise, under a sky that's usually gone from gray back to a hard winter blue, Waukee's driveways sit plowed from one end of town to the other.
