At four in the morning Owosso is amber streetlight and empty pavement, and that is the shift. Jones Construction & Landscape, LLC runs the plow through commercial lots and drives while the storm is still going, stacking snow where it will not swallow parking spaces, opening the entrances, scraping the walks down to concrete and treating what stays behind. By seven the first cars roll in over clean asphalt without a second thought, which is exactly the compliment this trade gets. Storms here come in fast from the west and change their minds twice before dawn, so the route gets run more than once. It ends when the last approach is open, whatever hour that turns out to be.
