At three in the morning the township is one long dark line of road and a set of headlights pushing white ahead of them. C & M Site Services LLC runs snow work out here — plowing lots and drives, opening entrances, scraping walks so the first car in at six finds the pavement already waiting. Wind coming across the flat ground near the US-10 corridor will drift a cleared lane shut again, so the route gets run twice and nobody is told about it. There is real pride in a lot stacked neat at the corners with every aisle wide open. Midland wakes up and simply goes to work; that is the point of the whole night.
