An Alberta clipper crosses the middle of the state fast and low, dropping its few gray inches on Delhi Charter Township in an afternoon and leaving the cold behind as payment. Knight Services works those days start to finish: plowing residential drives, clearing walks down to bare surface, spreading salt where meltwater would only lock up again by dark. Some storms take one pass and some take three, and knowing which is most of the trade. There is something plain and good about a driveway that is simply done while the sky is still spitting. Winter here asks for that kind of steadiness, week after week.
