Three in the morning out along Nash Road, snow coming sideways and the fields toward Wheatfield gone featureless white — those are the working hours at Big Rock Landscaping and Snowplowing, Inc. Plowing here is a night job and a waiting job: watching the radar, listening for the wind to shift, then rolling out to clear driveways, lots and walkways ahead of the morning. Salt and ice control follow the blade, because in Niagara County the melt-and-refreeze can be meaner than the storm that came first. By breakfast the pavement is black, the banks are pushed back off the mailbox, and the day starts like any other day. Seasonal snow work across North Tonawanda, Wheatfield, Pendleton and Tonawanda.
