Winter comes to Derry off the water first, the wind crossing Beaver Lake and packing the north-facing driveways before anyone is awake to see it. Affordable Plowing Services keeps the hours between the last flake and the first commute, when the streetlights are still doing all the work. A plow pass, a shovel along the walk, a scatter of sand at the apron — small acts, and the whole morning turns on them. There is real satisfaction in a driveway opened down to the pavement, edges square, nothing left to kick loose. Storm after storm, that is the promise made to a Derry dooryard.
