Out toward Prospect Plains the fields run flat to the tree line, and February wind has nothing at all to slow it down — snow travels sideways and packs hard against every driveway apron in town. EZ Hardscaping & Landscaping, Corp. goes out into exactly that, plowing, clearing walkways, and salting the shaded stretches that thaw at noon and refreeze by dusk. A long storm has its own rhythm: push, come back, push again, and never let anything set up. When the plow lights finally swing back toward the road, the front path is a clean gray line from door to curb. Winter in Monroe belongs to whoever keeps returning.
