About Plowguys of Kingston

On the coast at Plymouth a snowstorm can be two storms — the one on the radar and the one the ocean makes, squalling in over the harbor and burying a street in an hour. Plowguys of Kingston is out in both, plowing driveways and lots, clearing walks, and cutting through the drifts that pile along the pine barrens roads toward Myles Standish. Wind off the water sculpts snow into strange shapes and moves it back where you just cleared it, so the answer is another pass, and then one more. It is honest work with a clean measure of success: pavement showing, the car out, the walkway safe underfoot before sunrise. By mid-morning the bogs lie white and flat and the whole town is moving again.
