A truck or blade that pushes snow off roads to keep them clear and safe during winter storms.
Compound of 'snow' + 'plow' (a farming tool). First used in the 1800s as snow removal became necessary for modern transportation.
Snowplow operators are genuinely unsung heroes—they work through blizzards when most people are sleeping, and studies show they prevent about 24,000 weather-related crashes every winter in the US alone.
