November in Algoma Township is the hinge of the year — the last mow of the season on a Tuesday, the first plowable snow by Friday. U.P. Snow and Mow works both sides of that hinge, mowing, trimming and edging while the grass still moves, then plowing driveways and clearing walks once winter has the upper hand. Gravel roads and long country drives ask for a patient hand on the blade, and there is genuine satisfaction in a lane opened end to end before breakfast. Cleanups fill the gaps at either edge of the season. Twelve months, two kinds of weather, one route.
