Snow removal is the process of clearing snow from surfaces such as roads, driveways, and sidewalks. This is typically done to ensure safe travel and accessibility during winter months when snowfall can create hazardous conditions. Common methods include shoveling, plowing, and using snow blowers. Various tools and equipment are used for snow removal, including shovels, snow plows, and salt spreaders. Many municipalities have dedicated snow removal crews that work to keep public roads clear, while homeowners often manage their own properties. Effective snow removal helps prevent accidents and promotes mobility in snowy conditions.
