Out where the fields open up, wind is the whole story of winter — there is nothing between one hedgerow and the next to slow it, so snow travels across the road in long white ropes and packs hard at the end of a drive. VanDosen Lawn & Snow LLC plows through those nights and comes back at first light for whatever built up after the last pass. By April the same ground turns soft and green, and the work changes to mowing, trimming and hauling off what winter tore loose. It is a satisfying kind of arithmetic: a driveway open before anyone needs it, a lawn cut level before the heat of the day. Bethel township rewards people who paid attention to which way the wind was blowing.
