A snow plow is a vehicle equipped with a broad blade at the front, designed to clear snow and ice from roads, driveways, and other surfaces. It is commonly used during winter storms to maintain safe driving conditions. Snow plows can be attached to trucks or be part of specialized vehicles, and they help prevent accidents by removing accumulated snow. Snow plows operate by pushing snow to the side of the road, creating clear paths for vehicles. They are essential for public safety and are often operated by local government agencies or private contractors. Effective snow removal helps ensure that emergency services, such as ambulances and fire trucks, can reach those in need.
