A ground blizzard out here needs no new snow; a hard northwest wind will pick up what is already down and hang it in the headlights until the road disappears. Myers Snow Removal works those nights and the mornings that follow, plowing drives and lanes and cutting through the drift that forms at the same corner of the same shelterbelt every time. Walks are shoveled, steps cleared down to the tread, and grit laid where ice sets up after the afternoon makes a little water. Snow is stacked downwind and away from the approach so the next storm does not bury the same twenty feet twice. There is a quiet after all that noise, and it comes with the road open.
