Salem sits low against its tidal river, close enough to the Delaware Bay that most winters arrive as rain and only sometimes as snow. Which is why, when a real storm does come down over Salem County, the whole town needs clearing at once — driveways plowed, brick walks along Market Street shoveled clear of the dense stuff bay air makes, and salt down fast before dark refreezes it. Snow removal in a place like this is a matter of readiness more than routine: the trucks stay loaded all season for the three or four nights that ask everything. Marsh wind off the meadows will fill a cleared drive back in if you let it, so the second pass is part of the plan. Morning comes, the pavement is open, and the town goes about its day.
