Up on the high ground of Scituate, weather announces itself early — wind first, then the whitening of the ridge along Route 102. Angell Excavation & Septic Services turns to snow work once the storms arrive, plowing driveways and lots, opening the long rural approaches where drifts stack deepest against the treeline, and spreading sand and salt on grades that glaze over after dark. Hilltop snow is heavy and stubborn, and it takes a steady hand on the blade to move it clean rather than merely aside. There is real satisfaction in a hill drive left with square edges and an open line all the way to the mailbox. When the sky finally breaks blue over the hills, the way out is already waiting.
