Abstract: A snow disposal apparatus and a snow conversion system for converting a container into the snow disposal apparatus and the method of converting volumes of snow received in the container into water. The snow conversion system is an assembly of upright supports removably disposed in the container supporting a perforated partition defining within the container an upper space in which volumes of snow to be converted into water are received on the perforated partition and a lower space below the perforated partition into which the water from the converted snow drains. The assembly includes connected pipes supported on the upright supports and a plurality of jet nozzles connected to the pipes supplied with water from the lower space for jetting dense streams of water on to the snow in the upper space at pressure effective to convert the snow into water which drains into the lower space of the container.

Abstract: A snowplow carriage assembly for removal of snow manually by plowing the snow in an area to be cleared of snow. The carriage is a manually propelled wheeled structure made of a plurality of members pivotally connected for collapsing and folding for storage and unfolding for use in supporting and transporting a snowplow in the form of a replaceable conventional snow shovel having a handle straight length portion. The carriage is configured so that the snow shovel handle is removably mounted thereon inclined from the horizontal defining an acute angle relative to a surface on which snow is being plowed. The snow shovel inclination is variable for establishing different acute angles of the shovel relative to the surface for plowing the snow thereon and removal therefrom.
