Winter mornings on Pike Street start dark, with the storefront lights on and the sidewalks under a fresh inch. John's Mower Shop Inc turns to plowing when the season flips, opening drives and lots around Port Jervis before the day gets going. Storms roll down out of the Delaware valley and can keep at it for hours without letting up. The job is straightforward and so is the test of it: can you get out, and can your customers get in. By mid-morning the answer is yes, and the salt is handling the rest.
