	Snowplowing guidelines - Wisconsin Department of Transportation
		Snowplows typically travel at 25-35 mph, which in many cases is significantly slower than the posted speeds.
		It is legal to pass a snowplow but care should be taken when attempting this maneuver because it's often difficult to see past the snowplow because of the snow cloud.
		Twenty-eight of the 59 crashes last winter involved a snowplow being rear ended or hit while being passed by a vehicle that was traveling in the same direction as the snowplow.

		Mn/DOT snowplow operators, and especially the left lane drivers, are fully aware of the danger of being hit from behind.
		There are instances when snowplow operators intentionally drive their trucks into the median or ditch to avoid getting struck by another vehicle.

	Front-mounted spare tire rack for snowplow headgear - Patent 5275314
		A snowplow headgear is a bulky steel structure that requires several large bolts to securely fasten the front-mounted headgear proper to several frame mounted supports under the vehicle.
		Having briefly reviewed the structure and operation of a typical snowplow unit, it now can be seen that several obstacles stand in the path of successfully employing a front-mounted tire rack on a vehicle equipped with a snowplow headgear.
		In accordance with the present invention, a snowplow headgear provides a central mounting location for a T-shaped unitary spare tire/wheel rack which is design compatible with the headgear used on most snowplows.

	August 1997 Focus - The Latest Scoop on the Snowplow Scoop (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The snowplow scoop, which was developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), was designed to reduce the amount of energy needed to push a plow through dry snow.
		The snowplow scoop, in contrast, attaches to the front of the plow blade at a roughly 45-degree angle to the pavement and rides slightly above the surface of the pavement.
		The result is a two-pronged attack on snow: the snowplow scoop picks up the top layer of the snow, and the plow cutting edge removes the snow left behind on the surface of the pavement.

	snowplow - What is definition of the term - snowplow ? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In many cases, pickup trucks are outfitted with plows to fulfill this purpose, and some regions that do not frequently see snow may use graders and other equipment to fulfill this task.
		The dump truck portion of purpose-designed plows allows them to carry large amounts of salt, sand, and other chemicals (colloquially known as "grit"; some vehicles apply grit, but do not plow) that can be dispensed via a rear-mounted impeller to de-ice roadways.
		When snowfalls accumulate above a certain height, snowplow operators may be seen clearing primarily designated snow routes, often for the exclusive use of emergency vehicles such as fire trucks.

		In the classic snowplow, the skis are always edged to control speed and the upper body is angled to weight the outside ski.

		The knees are not pushed together as in the snowplow, because the skis are flattened.

		Rear lighting and signaling on snowplows is important during inclement weather, especially at night.
		Drivers of other vehicles around the snowplow need to be aware of the snowplow's presence, and to make accurate judgments about the speed and distance of the snowplow relative to their own vehicles.
		The Lighting Research Center is currently evaluating a steady-burning light bar mounted on the rear sides of the snowplow truck, in comparison to the flashing-light configuration currently used by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and by many other agencies in North America.

	HMMWV Snowplow
		The High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) snowplow enables the HMMWV to rapidly transition from a transportation vehicle to a snow-removal machine.
		The plow employs a quick-disconnect system called Minute-Mount; once the mounting brackets and wiring harness have been installed semi-permanently, the plow and all other attachments can be mounted in less than a minute and can be dismounted in half a minute.
		When the obstacle is cleared, spring tension is released so that the cutting edge returns to its normal plowing position.

		A typical snowplow prep package from the factory may consist of heavy duty front springs and shock absorbers, power steering cooler and the light wiring harness.
		Western snowplows use a UniMount system which just leaves a rectangular mounting frame hanging down on the front of the truck after the plow is removed.
		As a brand new snowplow can be very expensive (anywhere from 1500 or 2000 dollars and up), you might want to think about buying an older truck that already has a snowplow on it.
