The morning after a shore storm is almost painfully bright — sun off Barnegat Bay, the Mathis Bridge running out toward the island, every plowed pile glittering along the curb. Werner snow Removal spends the night that makes that morning possible. Blade down through the dark, driveways opened end to end, steps and walks done by hand where the machine can't reach, salt worked into the ice that sets up in the shade after midnight. Storms here swing between wet slush near the water and drier snow inland toward the pines, and each one gets read as it comes. Getting a family out on time is the point, and the tally is kept one driveway at a time.
