At three in the morning, Easton Avenue is a long orange corridor of streetlight and falling snow, and that is the hour Acosta Landscaping is already out in it. Plowing, driveway and walkway clearing, salt laid down where the ice wants to set — the whole job gets finished in the dark so Franklin Township can wake up and simply drive. Somerset County hands out a particular variety of storm: heavy wet snow one week, dry squalls the next, and each asks for a different pass with the blade. The reward is small and it never gets old — a black driveway, a swept walk, a car pulling out at six without a second thought.
