An apparatus for removing snow from driveway, sidewalks and similar surfaces, said apparatus comprising:

• a lawn mower, said lawn mower having at least two wheels, a motor disposed above said wheels, and a handle extending rearwardly of said lawn mower, said lawn mower having a deck, said deck having a front side, a first side, a second side, a rear side, a bottom side and a top side;
• and,
• a plow blade, said plow blade selectively operatively connected to said front side of said deck of said lawn mower;
• and,
• mounting means for selectively mounting said plow blade to said lawn mower, said mounting means comprising:
• a bracket, said bracket being selectively attachable to said deck of said lawn mower, said bracket having at least first and second “J” shaped members, said first and second “J” shaped members being selectively received under a front edge of said front side of said deck of said lawn mower, each of said first and second “J” shaped members having a first leg portion having a threaded hole therethrough, a screw being operatively associated with said threaded hole, so that when said screw is in a first, extended position a first end of said screw pushes against said top surface of said deck, thereby pinning said front edge of said deck against said first and second “J” shaped members, and thereby securing said plow blade to said lawn mower, and, when said screw is in a second, retracted position said first end of said screw is retracted and no longer pushes against said top surface of said deck, thereby releasing said front edge of said deck from said first and second “J” shaped members of said bracket, and thereby releasing said plow blade from said lawn mower;
• and,
• a strap, said strap being attachable to each of said first and second “J” shaped members of said bracket and to said lawn mower.
