South of Lyons the land drops away toward the old limestone valley, and January wind crosses it with nothing at all to slow it down. Green Valley Landscaping CO works the village through that stretch of winter, plowing driveways and lots, opening walkways, laying salt on the packed spots that refuse to let go. Cold like that turns snow to something closer to stone by mid-morning, so the timing of a pass matters as much as the pass itself. There is quiet pride in a lot cleared wall to wall, banks pushed back to the edges, room to park and room to walk. It is unglamorous work that decides whether a whole block's day goes smoothly.
