snow blowers

Driveway clearing devices

Snow blowers are machines that clear snow from driveways, sidewalks, and paths by drawing it in and expelling it to the side.

They range from small electric models for light snowfall to powerful gas-powered machines that can handle heavy drifts.

Also called snow throwers, though purists distinguish between single-stage throwers and two-stage blowers: I need to fire up the snow blower before the plow comes through.
