Frozen Prairie Snow Removal

About Frozen Prairie Snow Removal

West of Dickinson the land breaks into buttes and coulees, the first ripples of the badlands that run on toward the Little Missouri, and out there a plowed lane is often the only dark line across a white pasture for miles. Frozen Prairie Snow Removal works those ranch approaches and long gravel drives, clearing a path to the barn and the county road before a rancher has to feed cattle in a whiteout. A ground blizzard here needs no fresh snow at all — the wind just lifts what already fell and runs it flat across the open range until a driveway that was clear at breakfast is gone by ten. Cutting back through it takes patience more than anything else, but there is real relief in the sight of a gravel lane reopened, fence posts visible again on either side, a way back to the highway restored. Dickinson sits at the eastern edge of that open country, and the plows that clear its farthest driveways are doing work the wind may undo by morning — and doing it again anyway.
