Point yourself north from anywhere in this town and you end up at water, which is also where the winter comes from. True North Snow Removal plows, shovels and clears through it, taking driveways, walks, and the packed windrow the town plow leaves across a drive at the worst possible hour. Storms here arrive on the wind rather than on the forecast, so the truck stays loaded from November onward and the route is set before the first flake falls. Nothing about it is glamorous and all of it matters: a clear apron, grip underfoot, a way out. Turn the key, back out, go.
