Storms reach Shelby Township from two directions: clippers dropping fast and dry out of the plains, and wet, heavy bands that swing in on the wind off Lake Huron. Techseven Company watches both, because the difference decides everything — when the trucks roll, how many passes a lot needs, whether the salt goes down ahead of the ice or after. Snow removal is a timing job as much as a muscle job, and the work runs to plowing, opening walks, pushing banks back off the corners, and treating surfaces that turn glassy overnight. Winter here is long and moody and rarely does the same thing twice in a row. Getting out in front of it is the entire point.
