Snow changes what a house asks of you. The walk to the mailbox turns into a project; the driveway turns into a decision. QSPS Housing Solutions works Johnston's residential streets through the storms, plowing driveways back to bare asphalt, shoveling front walks and steps and the path to the door, cutting around parked cars, and treating the ice that keeps returning to the same shaded corner. Over near War Memorial Park the streets fill fast and the town plow throws a hard bank across every apron, so that last cut at the road is the one that decides the morning. Handing someone back a clear, gritted way out of their own home is plain, useful work.
