Wind out on the section-line roads of Crete Township has nothing to stop it, so snow does not simply fall here, it travels, piling in long combed drifts against fence rows and driveway ends. Dutch Valley Landscape Contractors works the hours nobody volunteers for, three in the morning with the heater going and the plow lights making a small yellow room out of the storm. The job is to open drives and lots, cut back the banks so they do not creep in by afternoon, and clear the walks down to something a person can stand on. Drifting means coming back, and coming back is part of the work. By the time the sky goes gray at the edges, the pavement is dark again and the day can start on time.
