snow throwers

Driveway clearing machines

Snow throwers are machines designed to clear snow from driveways, sidewalks, and other surfaces by scooping it up and propelling it away through a discharge chute.

The term is essentially synonymous with snow blower, though some distinguish between single-stage machines (snow throwers) that use an auger alone and two-stage machines (snow blowers) that add an impeller fan.

I finally broke down and bought a snow thrower after last winter's storms.
