First light out toward Fruitport turns a fresh drift pink for about ten minutes, and then the day starts asking for open pavement. Custom Outdoors works snow removal across Muskegon and the roads running southeast, where wind off the open ground rebuilds a bank almost as fast as it comes down. The job is plowing, clearing walks, stacking snow somewhere it will not become tomorrow's problem, and salting the spots that glaze over. There is a real pleasure in a driveway squared off at the street, edges true, nothing left to catch a tire. Winter gets long here; a cleared drive is how a household keeps its footing.
