Freezing rain is the Livingston County specialty nobody asks for — the kind of night when every branch picks up a glass sleeve and the driveways turn to skating rinks by morning. Creative Designs Landscape works the winter side of Oceola Township: plowing, clearing and salting so a storm stays a story instead of a stranded car. Snow arrives here more than one way — fat quiet flakes stacking up overnight, a clipper that slides through in an hour, a thaw that refreezes into a gray lid. Each one gets a different answer, and the answer is judged by a single thing: whether the pavement is walkable and drivable when the household wakes. Winter in the township is long, and a cleared drive makes it considerably shorter.
