Grade On Excavation

About Grade On Excavation

Whitefield sits with mountains in every window and a cold that settles in and stays, the kind that keeps snow dry and blowing for days at a stretch. Grade On Excavation plows it — driveways, dooryards and lots cut open, drifts knocked down off the field edges, sand laid on the ice that forms under packed snow. Shovel work takes the doorways and the mailbox turnouts, the places a truck cannot reach. When the wind comes off the ridges, the drive opened at midnight needs opening again at five, and it gets it. This far north, a plowed drive is simply how the day begins.
