About O'Risky Excavating

Pigeon Creek cuts low through the older industrial edge of Evansville before it empties into the Ohio, and on a cold morning fog collects in that bottom long after it's burned off the higher ground nearby. O'Risky Excavating clears the drives and lots that sit close to the creek, ground that holds moisture and ices over faster than the drier blocks up the slope. The crew salts those low approaches first, since a lot that looks clear can still hide a sheet of black ice where the creek's damp air lingers overnight. Snow gets pushed well clear of drainage grates so a quick thaw doesn't back the creek's runoff up into a lot that was just cleared. By full morning, the ground along the creek is open and gritted, the fog finally lifting off water that keeps moving no matter the cold.
