North of town the corn ground runs flat to the horizon, and when the wind gets behind a snowfall it doesn't stack up evenly — it drifts, refilling a driveway that was open an hour ago. C&D Lawncare plows with that in mind, coming back for the second push and cutting the drift bank off the entrance so it can't rebuild overnight. Walks get shoveled, the approach gets salt, and the drive ends up wide enough to actually turn a vehicle around in. Out toward Dunlap and Edwards the nearest help is a few miles off, which is exactly why the truck makes the trip. Bare pavement under a gray central Illinois sky is a good thing to leave behind.
