December in Allendale, and the snow starts around ten at night with a whole township already asleep behind it.

The route carries south into Georgetown Charter Township and the neighborhoods above the Grand River, one driveway at a time, until the last one is open. Almost nobody sees any of it happen. They just step out at seven onto bare pavement and get on with the day.
