Three in the morning on Richmond Avenue, and the only things moving are the plows and the traffic lights cycling for nobody. TCM Snow Removal & Plow runs its route through those hours, pushing driveways back to the curb, clearing walks and lots around Bulls Head and Castleton Corners, spreading salt before a melt gets the chance to glaze over. The measure of a night like that is simple — whether a car can back out at seven without anyone reaching for a shovel. Storms often start as harbor rain here and turn over after midnight, so the useful work happens while the island is asleep. Come daylight the pavement is dark and wet, and the day just goes ahead as planned.
