Some Bedford winters skip the snow entirely and send freezing rain instead — a quiet night, and by morning every drive from here to Ida is glazed and shining and treacherous. JRM Contracting works those nights and the deep ones both: plowing snow off driveways and lots, clearing walkways, and salting the ice underneath where it counts most. The open country north toward Petersburg lets the wind pack drifts as hard as furniture, so a light storm can leave more work behind than a heavy one. Getting a lot opened and gritted before the first car turns in is the real measure of the job. Nobody slips, nobody waits — that is what a good night looks like.
