Out where the county roads run straight past bare fields, snow does not fall so much as travel, piling into drifts that reach across a driveway overnight. Elias Services meets that kind of winter head-on around McHenry — plowing drives and lots, cutting back the drift line, clearing walkways, salting the packed spots that turn slick at dusk. A drift can rebuild in an afternoon, so the trucks come back rather than call it done. What people notice is simple: pavement where pavement should be, every morning of the storm. Snow routes cover McHenry, Johnsburg, Ringwood and Spring Grove.
