Some nights a single band of lake-effect parks itself over the Southtowns and refuses to move, and South Buffalo wakes to a foot that Amherst never saw. AG Landscaping Snowplowing LLC works those nights, running the route while Cazenovia Creek runs black between white banks. Driveways get pushed wide enough for two cars, walkways get opened all the way to the door, and salt goes down on the packed strip where the sidewalk meets the apron. The reward is small and enormous at once: a car that backs out at six in the morning without a shovel in the trunk. Seasonal plowing arrangements keep the same properties on the list from the first storm to the last.
