A nor'easter reaches Toms River from the water first, and the pitch pines along Route 9 start bending before most of the street has stirred. Superior Snow Removal NJ is out in that hour, headlights swinging into driveways while the flakes still arrive sideways off the bay. Plowing, shoveling the walk down to the doorstep, salting the slick that forms where the shade sits — the work gets finished in the dark so the morning simply looks easy. There is real satisfaction in a clean apron of blacktop at first light, the berm stacked where it belongs and nothing left to guess at. When the storm keeps coming, so do they, pass after pass through the night.
