About WNY Property Kings

Lake-effect snow does not so much fall on North Tonawanda as arrive — a band off Erie that sets up overnight and lays down a foot while the city sleeps. WNY Property Kings works the far end of that night: blades down along Sweeney Street, shovels for the walks and the steps, salt where ice would otherwise set hard by sunrise. The reward is a kind of silence at six in the morning, when a driveway is simply open and the day starts on time. Out toward Wheatfield and Pendleton the wind has more room and the drifts rebuild themselves, so the route gets run a second time. Winter is long in this corner of the state; the work is making it feel shorter.
