First light after a storm comes up pink over the Lower Bay, and by then the streets around Oakwood Beach ought to be passable. Fast Snow Removal exists for that window — plowing driveways and lots, shoveling walks and steps, salting and sanding, back out for a second pass while it is still coming down. Speed is not carelessness; it is knowing a route so well that not one turn gets wasted. The good part is watching a driveway go from unbroken white to open blacktop in a few minutes, then moving on to the next one. Down here the wind arrives straight off the water, so the sooner a surface is cleared the longer it stays that way.
