Indian Orchard keeps its brick close to the Chicopee River, and in February those mill walls hold cold the way a cellar holds it. Besner & Sons plows the tight grid streets there and the yards backing onto the canal, where a storm packs hard between buildings and will not leave on its own. Driveways get opened, walkways cleared to the doorstep, and grit set on the shaded turns that never see a full hour of sun. It is straightforward work with an exact finish — a clean line at the apron, no ridge left across the sidewalk, room made for whatever comes through after. Springfield winters ask the same question again and again, and the answer does not change.
