Snow takes light strangely at night — a plowed lot under a pole lamp glows, while the untouched half beside it just sits there gray. illumilawn works those hours, pushing lots and driveways clear across Oxford Charter Township, cutting the banks back at the entrances, salting wherever a slope or a shaded corner wants to ice up. Storms come in off the west after dark more often than not, so the route is a nighttime route by nature. Walks and doorways get opened by hand where a blade cannot reach. Morning arrives, the lights click off, and the pavement is black and ready.
