Route 9 through Wappingers Falls has to be open by six, snow or not. Neave Outdoor works to that clock, plowing lots and driveways, clearing walks and entries, and salting the surfaces people cross first. A Hudson Valley winter is rarely one long freeze; it is a run of storms, thaws and refreezes that can undo a cleared lot overnight. So the trucks come back, check, and treat again before the doors open. The measure of the job is simple — nobody arriving in the morning has to think about it at all.
