Winter arrives here sideways: bands of lake-effect that cross the whole county before they let go over the jack pine plains, filling a two-hundred-foot driveway between supper and sunrise. Cutting Edge Site Management plows and shovels those mornings out, opening drives and lots, clearing walks, and treating the ice at the steps where melt refreezes hardest. By May the same properties want mowing, string trimming and cleanup, and the machines change but the route does not. It is satisfying work on both ends of the year: headlights on clean pavement at five in the morning, or a mowed lot in July that looks kept. One township, twelve months, one list of names.
