Downtown, the Common goes quiet under snow, and the lots and walks around it become a list of things that need doing before eight. Navian Property Services runs that list all winter long, plowing, shoveling, opening lots and entryways, and treating the stretches that ice over. The wind funnels between the buildings here and rebuilds a drift you have already cleared, a lesson everyone learns exactly once. Getting a property fully open, pavement to pavement and doorway to curb, before the day begins is a real thing to have done. Some nights the storm outlasts you and you go back out; that is simply the arrangement.
