The Paterson–Clifton line runs through streets where nobody stops to check which side they are standing on once the snow starts. Clifton Landscaping and Snow Removal works both sides of it, plowing drives, shoveling walks and steps, and salting so the overnight refreeze never gets a grip. Storms here tend to come up from the coast wet and heavy, the kind that bends branches and packs hard at the end of a driveway where the street plow went by. That windrow gets cut open, the walk gets scraped down to pavement, and the treated surface is left dark instead of slick. Waking up to a driveway already clear is a small thing that changes the whole shape of a winter morning.
