Storms reach Wexford County off Lake Michigan as long banded squalls that can bury a driveway between supper and midnight. Bear Family Seasonal Services runs into that dark — plowing drives and lots, clearing walks, laying ice control down ahead of the melt-and-refreeze that does the real damage. A Cadillac morning after a heavy night is quiet in a particular way, and the whole point is that nobody has to think about it: the car backs out, the mail gets through, the steps are walkable in ordinary boots. Returning two and three times through a multi-day event is normal here, not exceptional. When the lake finally shuts the tap, the last pass is the tidy one — corners squared, banks shoved back to make room for whatever comes next.
