The Black River never quite freezes at Great Bend; it runs dark and steaming under a white morning while the fields on either side go featureless. Black River Tree & Power plows into that stillness — driveways, farm lanes and lots opened before anyone needs them, the banks pushed back so the next storm has somewhere to go. Lake Ontario sends its snow inland in bands, and a Le Ray winter is measured less in inches than in how many times the sky reloads. Walks get shoveled, ice gets treated, and the same lane gets cleared three times in a night if that is what the weather asks. The reward is small and exact: a drive that was buried at midnight and isn't by six.
