Downtown Olean wakes wide — the long run of North Union Street holding its brick storefronts under a fresh inch. Benjamin Outdoor Services, LLC is out ahead of that opening hour, plowing lots, clearing entries and cutting sidewalks back to the curb line so doors can swing and people can walk. Lake-effect snow off Erie does not announce itself politely; it slides down over the Southern Tier hills and simply keeps coming. The pride is in the sharp edge left along a walkway and salt laid exactly where it counts. Snow removal for Olean and its neighboring towns, storm after storm.
