We got like a half inch of snow, guy is going up and down the road with the plow and there are sparks flying out of the plow. Not sure what he thinks hes gonna do with the road black lol.

This reminds me of a Mountain Goats song, he and John Vanderslice had this EP that was like an incomplete rock opera about an organ harvesting colony on the moon where you spent six months on the moon harvesting organs from clones, then six months living in the snowy plains of Colorado completely isolated from all human contact with every human luxury imaginable available to you.

John Vanderslice's songs all feel kinda samey as far as structure goes, but John Darnielle's songs all hit very different moods. The song this reminds me of is the first track of the EP, Surrounded - mostly due to the line "and six fresh feet of snow" and nothing else.

If you're interested in how the story ends, the narrator of John Darnielle's songs keeps breaching the rules of the organ harvesting ring, so they put the character in a thermosuit and send him back to the moon to harvest organs, only for the character to begin cracking open clones and eating their organs instead of harvesting them. The last line of the last song is "I know that sleeping bodies hide / sweet things inside".
