Midnight over the Craddock Bridge, the Mystic running black beneath it, and the snow coming down the way it does in Medford Square — sideways, in the streetlight. Millennium Companies is out in that weather with plows and blowers, opening driveways and lots, shoveling entries and walkways down to the surface, and putting de-icer on the spots that will glaze over by four. Snow removal is a logistics job as much as a labor one: which property needs the first pass, which needs the second when the storm keeps going. Medford asks for both, from December's first dusting to whatever March decides to try. By morning the pavement is dark and the day starts on schedule.
