March up here is two seasons arguing: crocuses along a foundation on Tuesday, six inches on top of them by Friday. New Life landscaping & Contracting works both sides of that argument in Franklin and out toward Ogdensburg — plowing, walk clearing and salting when the storm wins, mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups when the ground finally means it. The elevation holds snow after the rest of the state has moved on, so the plow stays hitched a few weeks longer than anyone would like. Then it comes off, the mowers roll out, and those same driveways get an entirely different kind of attention. Every year the switch feels like the whole town exhaling.
