Midwest Snow Management

About Midwest Snow Management

The farmland ringing Kokomo lies flat enough that a stiff Howard County wind can lift loose snow off a bare field and lay it back down as a three-foot drift across a driveway that was clear an hour earlier — exactly the kind of problem Midwest Snow Management is built to answer. Their trucks work the business parks and long commercial drives along the US 31 corridor before the morning shift starts, then swing out to where the subdivisions meet open fields at the edge of town. Kokomo's winters run short but sharp, an arctic snap dropping in fast off the plains and breaking just as quickly, so the gap between a lot cleared at six and one cleared at eight can decide whether a business opens on time. Staging the plows the night before a forecast turns, and knowing every lot from a Markland Avenue strip mall to a warehouse off Highway 31 will be scraped to blacktop by first light, is where the real work of the job actually happens. On the coldest mornings, frost fog hangs low over the fields ringing town while the crews are already moving, well ahead of most of Kokomo's first cup of coffee.
