East of town the land opens out toward Fruitport and Ravenna, and on ground like that nothing stops the wind — snow crosses the road in ropes and rebuilds a drift as fast as anyone clears it. Top Gun Back Blades works that kind of winter, pulling snow back out of a driveway instead of shoving it against the garage door, and stacking it where it won't creep in again by dark. Tight courtyards, long rural drives, parking lots, the packed ridge left along the road — all of it comes apart behind a back blade. The reward is standing at the foot of a finished drive in that blue half-light before sunrise, pavement bare from door to street. Snow plowing and removal across Muskegon and the county's outlying roads.
