Northeast Nebraska's ground rolls more than people expect this far from any river bluff, and the hills around Creighton catch a north wind straight off the plains with nothing but a scattered cedar shelterbelt to slow it before it reaches town. Superior Turf Management, LLC works those in-town yards and driveways through the coldest stretch of the year, the same ground it keeps up each summer now sitting under whatever drift the wind leaves overnight. Knox County storms often arrive on the back of that wind rather than falling straight down, so a driveway plowed clean at noon can carry a fresh drift again well before the afternoon dark sets in around four. Block by block the crew works its way through Creighton's residential streets, clearing walks down to bare pavement and laying salt on the steps where an afternoon thaw tends to refreeze hard overnight. Out past the edge of town the same rolling ground gives way to gravel section roads and grain bins, and this crew clears a handful of rural driveways out there as well, working the same hills whether it's a Creighton front walk or a farmstead a mile out.
