snow blower
Driveway winter machine
A snow blower is a machine that clears snow from driveways, sidewalks, and paths by scooping it up and throwing it to the side through a discharge chute.
Powered by gas or electricity, snow blowers range from small single-stage models for light snow to heavy-duty two-stage machines that can handle deep drifts: I need to get the snow blower out before the next storm.
