Alps Road at night is sodium light on glass and a great deal of pavement waiting on weather. Prism Maintenance Inc works that corridor when snow arrives, plowing the lots and drives, clearing walkways and entries, spreading salt on the ramps and the shaded north faces where ice hangs on longest. Office ground in Wayne has to be finished before the first car turns in, which makes timing as much of the job as the pushing. Storms that stall over the Highlands can double what the forecast promised, so the passes keep coming until they do not need to. By opening, the surface is dark and dry-looking and the night's work is invisible.
