Freezing rain is the mid-Michigan specialty nobody asks for — a quarter inch of glaze across Davison Township driveways, then three inches of snow stacked on top of it by morning. T&C Outdoor Solutions is out in that, plowing and clearing walks so the day can still start on time, and back again in April to open the mowing season on those same properties. The two halves of their year are opposites in every way but the one that counts: arriving when the calendar says to. Through the green months it is mowing, trimming and cleanups; through the white ones it is a blade and a shovel while it is still dark out. Genesee County asks for both, and they keep both ends covered.
