North of Lockport the orchards run in long rows, and one night of weather turns the whole county into lines and shadows. Pavlock's Tree & Landscaping Services works the winter side of those roads — plowing driveways and lots, hand-clearing steps and walks, laying salt where the wind polishes ice smooth. Out where the fields are open, drifting is the real adversary; a drive can close twice between dusk and dawn and want opening twice. Coming back for that second pass, headlights on the snowbank and the entry square again, is the part of the job worth doing right. Then the thaw arrives, the trucks stand down, and the roads go back to mud and apple blossom.
