Out past Plainville the fields run flat to the horizon and there's nothing at all to slow the wind, so the snow doesn't stay where it fell — it travels, and it stacks up against whatever it finds first. Randy Cramer Snow & Lawn Inc. plows in that open country west of Baldwinsville and in the village itself. Driveways and lots opened up, walks cleared, salt and sand down where the ice sets in hard. A single drift can close a farm lane twice in one night, and the answer is simply to go back out. Come daylight the pavement is dark and wet and the way out is clear.
