Out past the last streetlight the fields lie open all winter, and whatever the sky sends blows clear across them and into town. Hutson, Inc clears snow in St. Louis, Michigan — plowing drives and parking areas, opening walkways, and spreading salt where the afternoon melt turns to glaze by dark. In a farm town the day starts early no matter what the weather is doing, so a lot has to be open before the first pickup swings in. Snow pushed to the right place stays out of the way for the rest of the storm, which is most of the skill. Same job, done over and over, all the way out to March.
