Snow off the Sound arrives sideways. By three in the morning New York Avenue is a white hill and Mill Dam Road is more or less a rumor, and that is the hour Snow Bros Mechanical LLC is already out with the plow down and the headlights full of flakes. Driveways opened, walks cut to the door, salt and de-icer laid where the melt will freeze hard again by six. Lots cleared before the first shift parks. The whole point is that somebody steps outside at dawn in Huntington, sees black pavement, and thinks about none of it.
