About DOCS PLOWING & ICE MANAGEMENT

The dangerous nights on this coast are not the snowy ones — they are the three-in-the-morning glaze, when the rain quits and Route 9 turns to glass. DOCS PLOWING & ICE MANAGEMENT reads that forecast for a living: plowing driveways and lots, scraping down to pavement, salting the shaded corners that lock up first. Toms River sits close enough to the ocean that a single storm can swing from snow to sleet to rain and back inside a morning, which means going out twice, sometimes three times. Clear pavement at daybreak is the entire measure of a good night. Nobody notices it, which is exactly the idea.
