Another snow-conquering contraption conceived by a Canadian, the snow blower was invented in 1925 by Québécois Arthur Sicard, a milkman who'd had enough of climbing over huge snowbanks to deliver his wares.
Sicard set his mind to creating a machine that could easily clear snow and didn't disappoint, putting his device on the market in 1927.
Wow. I had no idea. That thing is massive. Thanks for sharing.
