A nor'easter finds Amherst by way of the Souhegan valley, and by morning the Village Green is one unbroken sheet with the church steeple standing up out of it. Gureckis Landscaping spends that night in motion — plowing driveways open, clearing walks down to the brick and the concrete, spreading sand and salt where slope and shade conspire against a person. The satisfaction is all in the timing: getting a place opened before anyone inside it has to think about it. Banks get shoved back far enough that the next storm has somewhere to go, because in this town there is usually a next storm. Winter work, start to finish.
