snow shovel
Driveway clearing tool
A snow shovel is a tool for clearing snow from walkways, driveways, and steps.
It typically has a wide, curved blade and a long handle, designed to scoop and push snow aside.
The blade may be plastic, metal, or a combination: I need to grab the snow shovel before this storm gets worse.
