Snow around Lexington does not so much fall as travel: it comes off the open fields sideways and stacks against anything willing to stand still. Leake Outdoor Services LLC is out in the black hours for that, plowing driveways and salting walks so the first step out the door in the morning is an ordinary one. By April the same trucks are pulling mowers, and the year turns to weekly cuts, trimmed fence corners and beds cleared of winter litter. Pride lives in a drive opened before dawn and, months later, in an edge cut so straight it still holds at the end of the week. One town, two weathers, the same standard for both.
