Loon Lake at night in January is a black shape with a rim of lights, and the snow crossing it stacks against garage doors by the hour. Izzy's Lawn & Snow Removal works those hours — blade down and angled, drives pushed back to the pavement, walkways opened wide enough to be safe in the dark. The reward is pulling up to a house where nobody is awake and leaving it able to get to work. Waterford storms arrive in sets, so the route runs again with the next band and the one after that. What matters is that the drive is open when it's needed, not an hour later.
