Scott's property rescue

About Scott's property rescue

When a plains blizzard finally lets up and Kearney wakes to drifts piled against garage doors, Scott's property rescue is already moving through the Harmon Park and Cottonmill neighborhoods, digging cars free and cutting driveways back down to pavement. The wind off the open country west of town can pack snow into shapes that look permanent, but the crew works it loose section by section until the concrete shows through again. Late at night, headlights catch the lit form of the Archway spanning I-80 out past the edge of town, a marker for how far the routes still stretch before sunrise. Handing a homeowner back a driveway and a clear path to the street, after a storm has closed the whole town down for a day, means something the bill never quite captures. By the time schools and the highway are moving again, the worst of what the blizzard left behind is stacked at the curb instead of blocking the door.
