Winter along Northwestern Highway begins as a forecast — a line on a map somewhere over Wisconsin — and turns, hours later, into trucks loaded and waiting for it. Eagle Landscaping & Supply Company works Southfield from the leading edge of a storm to its long tail: plowing drives and lots, clearing walks and entryways, stacking the piles where they won't block a sightline, salting the ice that always follows the shovel. Anyone who has watched a lot melt at noon and lock up again at dusk knows the second night is the harder one. The whole reward is pavement that stays open through all of it.
