Not far from Gretna, the ponds at the old fish hatchery near Schramm Park hold a skin of ice most winter mornings before anywhere else nearby does, the still water giving up its heat slower than the moving Platte beside it. McCune Landscaping works the properties in that stretch along with its regular routes closer to town, and a first-light snow round often starts out that way before working back toward Gretna's in-town streets. The company keeps yards and beds through the warmer half of the year, and carries that same unhurried, property-by-property habit into winter, walking a drive's low spots before running a blade over them blind. Out past the hatchery ponds, driveways tend to run longer and catch drift along their tree-lined edges, so the crew checks each one again once the wind has had time to work on it. Gretna's own streets are still waking up when the park-adjacent drives are already open, hatchery ponds holding their morning ice quietly beside them.
