Floyd's Lawn And Snow

About Floyd's Lawn And Snow

In Lamotte Township the Thumb opens up flat and wide, and when wind comes across those bare winter fields it picks up the snow and drops it wherever a fence row or a farmhouse gives it pause. Floyd's Lawn And Snow puts its snow removal to work against that wind, cutting drives back open after the drifts have sealed them shut. Out here the storm itself is only half the trouble, because the blowing afterward can refill a lane by lunch. So the clearing is done generously, banks pushed well back and the mouth of the drive opened wide to the section road, leaving elbow room for the next gust. On a bright, cold morning with sun glancing off the fields, a freshly opened drive draws one bold stroke across all that white.
