Rocky Point in winter is a wide gray shoreline with the arch standing over an empty walk and Greenwich Bay flat as slate beyond it. Ocean state snow management runs the Warwick storms — plowing driveways, opening lots, and clearing walkways while the wind comes straight in off that water. Coastal snow can turn to rain and back again inside an hour, which means the job is never one pass but a series of decisions. Cutting a drive open at the right moment, before the slush locks up, is the difference between a morning that works and one that does not. When it goes right, the whole route is quiet and black and passable before the first car turns a key.
