Out here the wind has nothing to lean on, so a February storm arrives sideways and packs the end of every driveway into a hard grey ridge. The county plow clears Lansing Road and then, without meaning any harm, puts the worst of it right back where you park. Port Perry Handyman handles snow removal for Perry and the farm roads around it — driveways opened, walks cleared, the ridge at the apron broken down and pushed off to the side. There is a plain pleasure in arriving before anyone has to reach for a shovel, and in a driveway showing gravel at seven in the morning. When the storm quits and the sun comes up over all that white field, the place looks like nothing ever happened.
