Snowplow

<p>A snowplow (also snow plow, snowplough or snow plough) is a device intended for mounting on a vehicle, used for <a href="/facts/Snow_removal/7Gga9Puo">removing snow and ice</a> from outdoor surfaces, typically those serving <a href="/facts/Transport/npstdhvc">transportation</a> purposes. Although this term is often used to refer to vehicles mounting such devices, more accurately they are known as <a href="/facts/Winter_service_vehicle/MXtam2cx">winter service vehicles</a>,[<i>where?</i>] especially in areas that regularly receive large amounts of snow every year, or in specific environments such as airfields. In other cases, <a href="/facts/Pickup_truck/Pe5zVzIB">pickup trucks</a> and <a href="/facts/Loader_(equipment)/0EDM3gur">front end loaders</a> are outfitted with attachments to fulfill this purpose.  Some regions that do not frequently see snow may use <a href="/facts/Grader/TwnMRNgx">graders</a> to remove compacted snow and ice off the streets. Snowplows can also be mounted on rail cars or locomotives to clear railway tracks.
