A nor'easter reaches Kennebunk's Lower Village first as sound — surf working the river bar, then the sift of snow against clapboard. CB Property Maintenance LLC works those hours: plow down, headlights on the empty bridge over the Kennebunk River, spray freezing to the wipers. By the time the bakery windows light up, the driveways are open and the walks are cut to bare pavement. Snow this close to the water comes wet and heavy and sets like mortar by noon, so the passes happen early and happen again when the wind swings around. The reward is uncomplicated: a town that wakes up able to go.
