At four in the morning a Waldoboro snowstorm sounds like almost nothing — just an engine, and the hush over the Medomak where the river runs black under the village bridge. Reyer Lawncare and Snow Removal is out in it, opening driveways along the ridge roads so the first cup of coffee and the first commute can happen on time. The result is simple and it never gets old: a clean apron of pavement, the edges scraped down, sand laid where the ice wants to form. When the mud dries and the town goes green again, the same trucks come back with mowers for the summer's cutting, edging and cleanups. Two seasons, one habit — the ground in front of your door looks tended.
