Toward New Hudson the sky gets bigger, and a January dusk out there turns everything the color of old nickel. Temple Landscaping is usually still working then — plowing driveways and lots, clearing walks, laying salt before the temperature falls away through the evening. Snow that came down wet at three in the afternoon is an entirely different problem by seven. Working the last of the light and then working past it is simply what this season asks. A property left open and safe at the end of a long push is worth the cold hands.
