Crawford County winters arrive with intent: snow measured in feet, drifts rebuilding across the open plains as fast as they are cut, and a cold that hardens everything by morning. Jack Millikin Inc. Excavating meets those nights with plowing — drives, lots and access roads pushed wide and back to their edges so the next storm has somewhere to go. Walks get shoveled down to the surface and salt goes where the ice keeps glazing over. Grayling runs on snow for a good half of the year, and getting people out of their own driveways is the entire task. There is a quiet pleasure in a lot cleared before the first headlights turn in.
