Hinton Snow Removal

About Hinton Snow Removal

Hinton Township lies in open farm country between Big Rapids and Barryton, where a west wind will lift the snow off a bare field and lay it across the road in a matter of minutes. Hinton Snow Removal works those roads and the drives that run off them — plowing, opening the end of a drive after the county truck has come by, clearing walks and steps, salting the shaded strip beside a barn where the ice never quite gives up. Drifting is the real adversary out here, not depth; a lane cleared at six can close again by nine without a single new flake falling. Going back is simply part of it. A farm lane cut clean and wide with the wind still blowing is about as good as the work gets.
