Snow removal is the process of clearing snow and ice from roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and other outdoor spaces to ensure safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians during winter months. This process typically involves plowing, shoveling, salting, and sanding to melt ice and provide traction on slippery surfaces. Snow removal is essential for maintaining public safety and preventing accidents and injuries caused by snow and ice buildup. It is often carried out by government agencies, private contractors, or individual property owners using specialized equipment such as snowplows, shovels, snow blowers, and de-icing agents.
