The first snow of the year lands on stubble here, the combines barely out of the fields and the rows already ruled in white. Prime Lawn & Snow Removal LLC is ready by then, plowing driveways and approaches, shoveling walks and steps, laying salt where a thin melt turns to black ice by suppertime. Early-season storms come wet and heavy, so the passes go wide and the blade is held back off the grass. Snow gets stacked with the whole winter in mind, not just tonight. Getting out clean on the first storm sets the tone for every one after.
