The forecast gets watched for days before anything falls — the models arguing, the temperature line wobbling somewhere out over Missouri. Hendel Lawncare Inc stages salt and fuel ahead of it, and when the storm finally commits, the trucks are rolling at midnight rather than at breakfast. Drives, walks and lots get pushed and treated, then checked again once the wind rearranges what was already moved. Snow in this valley can turn to slush and then to a sheet of glass by morning, so the second pass is not optional. Centreville and the neighboring communities are covered from the first flake to the last thaw.
