St. Louis Snow Removal

About St. Louis Snow Removal

The Mississippi doesn't fully freeze most winters, but ice builds along its edges near the Eads Bridge, and the barges downriver slow to a crawl while the city above deals with its own version of the cold. St. Louis Snow Removal clears the lots and drives near downtown's riverfront, working routes that run close enough to the water to catch an extra few degrees of chill the rest of the city doesn't feel. Getting a downtown lot clear before the first commuters cross the bridge into the city is a race against both the clock and the wind coming up off the water. Salt goes down heavier near the riverfront, where the damp air keeps refreezing what the sun barely touches. There's something fitting about clearing ground this close to the river that gave the city its start.
