Snow falls quietly here, and often all night, so the township wakes to a landscape rewritten between supper and sunrise. We-Can Services, LLC is out in it well before the coffee is on — plowing driveways and lots, shoveling porches, steps and walks, and treating the packed spots where a tire has polished the ice smooth. Lake-effect does not distribute itself evenly; a road toward Berrien Springs may get half what the south end got, or twice as much. The route adjusts, and everybody still gets opened. A cleared drive at six in the morning is a small kindness with a lot of work behind it, and doing that well is enough.
