A Midwest storm shows itself on the map two days early, a long white comma sliding down out of Wisconsin, and by the time it reaches Lemont the plan for it is already written. brmidwestcontractors uses that lead time: routes laid out, properties put in order, the first pass timed so drives and lots open before the morning needs them to be open. Weather crosses a great deal of flat ground before it drops into this river valley, which means it arrives with the wind still inside it and it rarely quits early. Snow is the entire trade here, pushing, stacking, coming back, keeping pavement usable through a system that runs all night. Lemont and the surrounding towns.
