Mid-Michigan winters do not simply snow; they thaw on Tuesday and glaze over by Thursday. Gill-Roy's Grand Blanc Outdoors handles snow removal through that whole moody stretch, working the oak-shaded streets off Holly Road and the wide township drives where drifts pile against the garage doors. A clean pass matters most on refreeze nights, when whatever gets left behind turns to glass by morning. There is a certain pride in a driveway that stays bare from the first flake to the March mud. Grand Blanc earned its old French name, big white, and every winter it lives up to it.
