A Newaygo winter saves its worst trick for the few feet between a car door and a front step, where melt from the afternoon turns to glass by dark. Foot and Ankle Specialists of West Michigan takes snow removal seriously for exactly that reason: walks, entries and parking cleared down to bare surface before anyone arrives on foot. The storms roll in off the west with wet, heavy snow, then the temperature drops and the whole lot stiffens overnight, so the pass that matters is the early one. Nothing about it is showy — a scraped walk, a clean doorway, a lot you can cross without watching your feet. On a grey January morning in this town, that is worth the pre-dawn start.
