Storms come in over the high ground with the wind out ahead of them, and by dusk the ridge roads are already filling in. Summit Outdoor Services runs Brooks Township straight through those nights — plowing driveways and lots, shoveling walks and steps, salting and sanding the spots that glaze over first. Repeat passes are the difference here; a band that parks itself for six hours will bury a drive twice before daylight. Cold, dark and mostly unwitnessed, all of it comes down to one visible thing. An open drive at six in the morning, and a car that leaves on time.
