Snow always announces itself first on Newark's western slope — up around Ivy Hill the flakes are already sticking while downtown is still just cold rain. All Seasons removal LLC starts up there and works its way down, plowing the drives, opening the aprons that street trucks bury, clearing sidewalks and treating the pitched spots where a car will slide backward if you give it the chance. These hills are gentle right up until they're iced, and then a twenty-foot driveway becomes a serious problem. Steady passes through a long storm keep it from ever reaching that point. Afterward the parked cars are dug out and the walks are honest gray again, which is exactly the look they're after.
