North of the city the Rogue River valley holds cold the way a bowl holds water, and Comstock Park mornings can run several degrees under downtown. S & S Lawn Care & Snow Plowing takes that stretch of Grand Rapids in winter: plowing driveways, opening walks, pushing lots back to their edges and salting the shaded corners the sun never reaches. A snow band can drop three inches an hour up here and then quit like nothing happened. So the truck stays loaded and the route stays flexible. By first light the driveways are open and the day gets to start on time.
