Whitmores

About Whitmores

December in the village, and Newtown Lane wears its snow for about an hour before somebody has to do something about it. Whitmores takes on snow work around East Hampton: plowing drives, opening walkways, clearing entries, and treating the ice that trails a coastal storm. Weather here comes in off the Atlantic and can turn to rain and back again inside a single night, so the job is as much about timing as muscle. Being early is the craft — pavement showing before the first car needs to back out of it. There are few better feelings on a winter morning than a route already finished behind you.
