When a squall comes down the Seneca Turnpike after midnight, Oneida goes quiet in the particular way only snow can make it. Andy's Tow Service is awake for that hour — plowing driveways and lots, opening walkways and entries, spreading salt and grit where ice sets up hard along the Route 5 corridor. The measure of a night is a driveway already cleared when the porch light comes on and someone steps out with keys in hand. Storms here keep no schedule, so the work runs storm by storm all winter, and again the next morning after the wind fills everything back in.
