Some of the worst weather this county gets is not snow at all — it is the freezing rain that glazes everything overnight and turns the grade of Adams Road into something to be respected. Home and Commercial Services LLC works those mornings in Rochester Hills, plowing drives and lots, opening walks, and salting the places where a thin sheet of ice does the most harm. Homes and businesses both, because both need the same thing at the same hour: a way in that holds underfoot. Michigan winters here rarely announce themselves; they simply settle in and stay. Clearing the way through them, storm after storm, is steady and unglamorous and genuinely useful.
