Snow behaves differently in a town this size — it banks against the curbs, fills the alleys, and narrows every side street by half. The City Farmer handles snow removal around Grand Haven, opening driveways, walkways and lots while the lake keeps sending more of it. Some storms come as one long grey push; others arrive in bursts that ask for a second and a third pass. Either way the aim holds steady: bare pavement, room to park, a walk somebody can carry groceries across. Winter is long on this shore, and it is a decent thing to make it easier.
