The morning after a storm on Queens Boulevard is blue and painfully bright, and everything plowed overnight is already hardening at the edges. Vinny & Son Contracting Corp works Rego Park through nights like that — driveways opened, sidewalks and stoops shoveled, lots cleared and the piles pushed somewhere they will not become a wall of ice by Thursday. Along 63rd Drive the curb cuts and the apartment entrances come first, because that is where people actually meet the snow. Rock salt follows into the low spots that hold water and the runs the sun never finds. By the time boulevard traffic picks up, the block is open and the walking is safe.
