Three in the morning, the town asleep and the interstate corridor east of Ottawa running white, is when snow work actually happens. OPS Outdoor Property Services LLC plows drives and lots, opens walks and entryways, and salts the ice that forms where meltwater runs and refreezes before dawn. A storm is never one job; it is a first push, a cleanup pass, and a return trip after the wind rearranges everything. The aim of all that effort is a morning nobody remarks on — cars out, doors clear, pavement showing. Working while the valley is dark so the day can start on time carries its own kind of satisfaction.
