The Sanitary and Ship Canal moves barges past Lockport in every kind of weather, and something about that steadiness suits the work. M&N Maintenance covers the whole year on the properties it looks after — plowing, shoveling and salting through the freeze, then mowing, trimming and edging once the ground comes back. Sleet is the hard one here; it glazes a driveway in a way plain snow never does, which is why the salt goes down before anyone has to ask. In July the same address simply needs its weekly cut, even and clean, walks blown off behind it. Two seasons, one list of houses, no gaps in between.
