Out toward Curtis Road the last subdivision meets the first soybean field, and from one spot you can watch the year turn over: green, then gold, then a hard gray that means the plow gear comes down off the shelf.

Central Illinois specializes in the refreeze that follows a melt, so staying ahead of ice matters as much as moving snow. Come spring the mowers roll again, and the yards along the south edge look like someone was paying attention all winter — because someone was.
