Dusk comes early over Creston in December, and the lights along Plainfield Avenue turn the falling flakes orange. Action Lawn Care & Snow Plowing runs the side streets off Coit and Diamond while most of the neighborhood is still at dinner — blades down, driveways opened up, the apron cut back square to the curb so the city plow cannot undo the work. Sidewalks get cleared to the width of a stroller. Salt goes on the front steps and on the pitch of a drive where ice likes to set overnight. By the time the porch lights click off, the block is passable end to end.
