Storms come over the Belknap Range and down onto Laconia in the dark, which is why plowing is a four-in-the-morning job. K2L RANCH SNOWPLOWING LLC runs driveways, private roads, and lots while the city is still under its blue streetlight glow, pushing banks back far enough that the next storm has somewhere to go. Lakes Region winters send everything — dry powder off the hills, then the heavy wet stuff that comes up the valley and sets like concrete. Nobody sees the part that matters most: a homeowner steps out at six and the drive is simply open. Clear pavement, straight edges, room to turn a truck around.
