Dave's Snow & Ice Management

About Dave's Snow & Ice Management

The chain of lakes — Strawberry, Zukey, Base Line — starts talking in December, cracking and settling under the cold, and the roads around them glaze over long before the snow amounts to anything. Dave's Snow & Ice Management works that narrow, dangerous window: plowing, salting and treating walks and lots so a parking area that froze at midnight is safe by seven. Ice is the quieter half of this trade and the half that decides whether anybody goes down. Two in the morning in Hamburg Township is a headlamp-lit world of white and orange, blade down, one pass and then the cleanup pass. By breakfast none of it shows, and that is precisely the point.
