Southeast of Flint the land lifts a little toward Goodrich, and open ground up there lets wind build a drift across a driveway in an hour. Hill Property Maintenance plows through that, cutting drives open, shoveling steps and walkways, and putting down ice melt wherever the surface glazes over. Drifting snow is its own problem: you can clear a drive at ten and find it half-filled by midnight, so some storms take two passes. Genesee County keeps that up from December through March, and the trucks stay ready for it. Getting people out of their own driveways is a small thing that shapes an entire winter.
