Abstract: A small lightweight snow flinger comprising a central post adapted to be held by a user. A motor is mounted on the upper end of the post. Motion imparting mechanisms extend from the motor to a lower end of the post. A box is secured with respect to the lower end of the post. The box has a central vertical aperture therethrough. A plurality of blades are rotatable about a horizontal axis coextensive with the power mechanisms at the lower end of the tube to rotate the blades within the aperture and move particulate material such as snow entering the space between the rotating blades and to direct it upwardly through an aperture having a vertical axis in the box.
