When snow works its way up the coast overnight, the lots along the Route 66 corridor fill fast and the businesses there need to open anyway. Ocean Fence works Ocean Township through those hours, plowing lots and drives, clearing walkways down to pavement, and salting the shaded spots where refreeze likes to hide. Snow this close to the water comes heavy and wet, the kind that packs hard by dawn, so the passes go early and go often. There is genuine pride in pulling out at first light and leaving behind a property that looks like the storm skipped it entirely. Everything else about a winter day gets easier once the ground is clear.
