About Campbell's Outdoor Living

Winter announces itself over the Cumberland foothills north of Powell — the sky goes flat pewter by mid-afternoon, and come evening the first flakes are drifting past the porch light. Campbell's Outdoor Living handles what follows: snow cleared from driveways, walkways and patios, steps shoveled down to the tread, ice treated where the shade holds longest. Around here the trouble is rarely depth and almost always glaze, so timing counts for more than the size of the storm. Coming home to a cleared apron and a path you can trust changes the whole feel of a cold night. By the thaw Powell is green again and everybody has forgotten the whole thing, which is exactly right.
