The wind that crosses Lake Road has nothing to slow it between the shoreline and your front step, and it will rebuild a drift as fast as a blade can move it. O.S.I.M - Ontario Snow & Ice Removal plows, shovels and treats ice for properties across town, including the ones that take that northern edge full in the face. Ice is the sneakier half of the job, coming from meltwater and refreeze, from a gutter dripping onto a walk at dusk, and it has to be answered before anyone steps outside. The plow work is visible and the ice work is not, which is exactly why both get done. A cleared drive and a walk with grip on it is the whole ask of a Wayne County winter.
