When the ground finally locks up in December, the gravel lots and long farm drives south of Jamestown stop being a mud problem and start being a snow one. Dirt Worx Excavating LLC turns to that work as the frost sets, plowing drives and yards, opening wide commercial lots, stacking banks back where they will not crowd a turn, shoveling entries and putting salt at the doors. Machinery that spends the warm months moving earth spends the cold months moving weather instead. Out toward Kiantone the road can disappear between two hedgerows, and a cleared lane through it is the entire argument of the day.
