About todd's snow plowing

By late February the snow has been through a dozen thaws and refreezes, and what is left along the drives is less powder than armor. todd's snow plowing works that end of the season hardest in Rockford — out before sunrise while the eastern sky goes pink and everything underfoot is glazed and unforgiving. Scraping down to bare pavement matters more now than in December, because a rutted drive will hold its shape until spring if it is allowed to set. Salt is put where the melt runs and refreezes overnight, at the foot of a slope, along the shaded north side of a house. The last storms of a winter are the ones people remember, and they go easier when the drive is already open.
