Wind off Newark Bay has nothing to slow it down, and by five in the morning it can turn a wet loading yard along Doremus Avenue into glass. AAA Snow and Ice Management works against that clock — plowing the lots, cutting the drive lanes open, shoveling dock steps and door aprons, then laying de-icer exactly where the melt will refreeze first. Down on this end of the city the storms arrive off the water heavier than the forecast promised, and the ice that matters is the thin kind nobody sees until they're already sliding. So the passes keep coming while it falls, and the walk-behind work follows the blade, gate by gate. There is a real satisfaction in a property that looks like the storm skipped it: pavement open, trucks rolling, the day going ahead as planned.
