Up North Snow Plowing

About Up North Snow Plowing

On the coldest January mornings, sea smoke rises off Lake Superior like the whole lake is breathing, and up over the hill in Duluth Heights the snow squeaks underfoot at twenty below. That is the hour Up North Snow Plowing keeps. The work is plainspoken and vital: driveways plowed before the commute, entrances opened, the heavy over-the-hill snowfalls pushed back again and again through a winter that can run from Halloween to May. There is a specific satisfaction in headlights sweeping a freshly cleared drive while the rest of the street is still buried — proof that somebody was out in it so you didn't have to be. Winter this far north is not an interruption; it's the main season. This outfit treats it that way.
