Three in the morning in Sloan and the streets are narrow, the lots are small, and the plow has to be exact. Jay's Landscaping works those tight corners of Cheektowaga — pushing driveways clear without burying the sidewalk, opening the walk to the front steps, putting salt down before the shade freezes the melt by dawn. Lake-effect snow off Erie is wet and heavy, the kind that argues with a shovel, and there is good reason to have someone else moving it. By the time the neighborhood is awake the drives are open and the day can simply start. Snow clearing for Cheektowaga, Sloan, Depew and the blocks around them.
