Squalls come across the Hudson flats at Coxsackie sideways, filling a driveway back in twenty minutes after it was clear. North Country Landscapes LLC plans for the second pass — plowing, driveway and walkway clearing, salting and sanding, and a look back at the properties the wind likes to bury. In summer the same ground gets mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups, so each lot is learned twice, once green and once white. Knowing where a drift always forms is the difference between one pass and three. What the work leaves behind is ordinary and hard-won: an open drive, a walk you can cross, a lawn that looks like somebody is paying attention.
