Storms come into Saratoga County from the west, gathering over the Mohawk Valley long before they reach Clifton Park, and by midnight the streetlights are full of moving snow. Every Season Snow Removal reads that arrival the way other people read a clock — trucks staged, routes set, driveways cleared and cleared again while the wind keeps pushing it back. Walkways shoveled, ice control laid down where freeze and thaw make a rink of a slope, banks pushed back so a driveway still fits a car in February. Winter here is long and repetitive, and the whole job is staying ahead of it. Clifton Park, Ballston Lake, Round Lake, Malta and Halfmoon.
