About Tom Nash Snow Removal

At four in the morning a Hawthorne snowfall is nothing but streetlight and slant, the hills silent and the parkway ramps not yet cut. Tom Nash Snow Removal is out in that hour, plowing drives, opening lots, shoveling walkways down to the pavement and laying salt where the afternoon melt will refreeze. Snow in these hills rarely arrives politely — it comes wet and heavy, and it comes back again at dusk. The measure of a night like that is somebody stepping out at seven onto a clean drive with a clear path to the car, coffee still hot. Then the truck goes back around and does it once more, because the sky is not finished with the day.
