Snow near Raritan Bay rarely comes down light. It arrives heavy and wet, packing itself onto the Melrose side streets by the inch, gluing to steps and turning to glass overnight. Bk snow plowing works that particular Sayreville snow — plowing driveways and lots, cutting walkways down to the pavement, and putting salt where the January sun never quite reaches. The reward is a stretch of blacktop steaming faintly at nine in the morning, dark and dry while everything around it stays white. Neighbors notice which houses got dug out properly, and on these blocks that matters.
