Loughberry Lake holds the city's water at the north edge of town, and by January it holds a lid of ice with the pines standing black around it. Loughberry Mfg. Corp. plows through those months — driveways, parking areas, and the turnarounds that decide whether a truck can get in at all — plus shoveled walks and salt where the cold lingers. Storms track through this corner of Saratoga County one after another, so the season is a long series of returns rather than a few big nights. Clearing starts early enough that the pavement is open before the first commuter is. Nothing about it is complicated, and all of it depends on showing up.
