Snow Removal Wichita

About Snow Removal Wichita

At the confluence where the Little Arkansas meets the Arkansas River, the Keeper of the Plains rises over a plaza that anchors that whole stretch of downtown, a fixed point everyone in the city can picture even in the dark. Snow Removal Wichita works overnight from around there, clearing the surrounding lots and access roads while the plaza sits empty under a fresh layer of white. The overnight hours suit the work — streets empty of traffic, snow still falling in the truck's headlights, one property after another going from buried to bare pavement before the city wakes up to it. A kind of quiet only shows up downtown around 3 a.m., broken by the plow and the hiss of salt hitting concrete, the work feeling almost solitary despite how much ground gets covered by morning. By sunrise the routes are finished, the plaza's edges are clear, and the statue is still standing over water that never quite freezes all the way through.
