A big storm usually finds Mendham from the south and west, and you can hear it before you see it — wind picking up along Mountain Avenue, then the first fat flakes going sideways under the streetlights. Romero Brothers Landscaping works straight through that, plowing on the round so accumulation never gets ahead of the truck. Walks and steps are shoveled and salted, front paths first, because that is the part people actually walk on. The final pass comes once the wind quits and the drifting stops, when a driveway can finally be made square. Morning shows up to a place that looks handled.
