When the wind swings around off Saginaw Bay it comes inland carrying water it hasn't finished with, and Midland gets the last of it as snow. Great Lakes Bay Lawn Management meets that with a plow route and a start time well ahead of daylight — driveways opened, lots cleared corner to corner, walks pushed and scraped. Salt and ice melt go where freeze and thaw do their worst, along shaded curbs and at the foot of every slope. A storm that runs all night earns a second pass, because a drive cleared at two is a drive filled again by six. The payoff is a quiet street of open driveways at sunrise and nobody late for anything.
