Blue hour on a January morning in Buffalo is a very specific color, and it is when the plows are already out in it. Buffalo Snowplowing & Lawn Care Inc runs those hours, opening drives and lots so the first shift never has to think about it. Snow is stacked out of the way, walks are cleared wide enough that no shovel is needed, and salt goes down before the packed tracks turn glassy. This city measures its winters by the storms it remembers; a plow route is how the ordinary ones stay ordinary. Seasonal arrangements hold the same properties from the November squalls through the last of March.
