Minneapolis Lawn and Snow

About Minneapolis Lawn and Snow

The biggest snows of the year come late here — March storms off the plains that drop a foot of heavy, wet, shovel-folding white just when everyone had started believing in spring. Minneapolis Lawn and Snow works Inver Grove Heights through exactly that kind of winter: the long one, the one that ignores the calendar. Plows run through the night and again at midday when the second band arrives; driveways are opened, reopened, and opened once more. Snow that heavy moves differently under a blade than under a shovel, and moving it is the whole job. When the last drift finally goes gray and collapses in April, the season's work is done — every storm answered, first flake to last.
