Snow that reaches Runnemede has usually come a long way and thought about being rain the whole trip — it lands heavy, wet, and quick to set up like mortar. Buck's Pro Tree Care is out in the small hours because of that, plowing driveways and shoveling walks on the streets off the Black Horse Pike while the storm still has the borough to itself. Salt goes down where the melt will refreeze by dawn: the foot of the drive, the low spot at the curb where water always stands. There's a particular satisfaction in a cleared apron at five in the morning — black pavement, straight banks, a car that will back out without a fight. Whole street still asleep, and the day already made easier.
