When a coastal storm turns and starts pulling from the northeast, you hear it first in the woods above Hockhockson, a long steady roar with the snow arriving sideways underneath it. Becker's Tree Service runs the snow work through those hours in Tinton Falls, plowing driveways and lots and digging out the walks and steps the wind keeps refilling behind you. Salt and ice melt go down where the shade holds all day and the pack refuses to give up. A wooded lane can close into a tunnel during a storm, and getting it open again, full width and clean to the edges, is the entire reason to be awake for it. The route runs through town and out into the nearby communities.
