They call this Big Snow Country for a reason: the ski hills above Bessemer measure a season in feet, and so does everybody with a driveway. Snow Country Contracting plows and clears through all of it — drives opened, lots pushed back, walkways and entries shoveled out while the sky is still adding to the pile. When the thaw finally comes, the blades trade places with mowers and the work becomes cutting, trimming and edging lawns that green up fast in the long Gogebic County daylight. A February storm and a June growth spurt ask for the same thing: somebody who arrives before it gets ahead of them. Bare pavement at dawn and an even lawn at dusk — both are worth the trip.
