Along Old Homestead Highway the driveways run long and the drifts build right where the fields meet the road. Wilcox Tree Service handles the snow on them — plowing during the storm and after it, entries and walks cleared, sand and salt worked into the glazed patches that sit in morning shade. Banks get pushed back before they narrow a drive down to one lane. Swanzey can hand you eight inches of powder one week and an inch of frozen slush the next, and both get an answer. Late night or well before dawn, the job is finished when the pavement shows.
