Four in the morning at the Reading depot, the platform lit and empty, snow coming sideways under the lamps and the first train still two hours out. Ground Care Solutions LLC is already moving — plowing lots, opening driveways, cutting walkways down to the pavement and salting behind so ice has nowhere to set. Reading catches the wet, packing snow that arrives when a coastal storm swings in over the Ipswich River valley, the kind that always needs a second pass. The whole point is that by the time the town wakes, nothing about the storm is anyone's problem. A clear drive at dawn is a small, complete piece of work.
