North of the city the land flattens toward the airport, and once the wind comes across those open fields there is nothing left to slow it. Pinnacle Sealing and Plowing Inc clears the big exposed lots out that way, where snow refuses to stay where you stack it and the drifts rebuild themselves by morning. The work is deliberate: pass, stack, come back, push it further out, keep the entrances wide enough for a truck to swing through. Central New York winters run from November into April, and a lot only stays open if somebody keeps returning to it. When the storm finally quits, the last lap around the perimeter is the one that feels like finishing.
