Novel hand-held snow shovel system

Abstract

A hand-held snow shovel system features an “A” shaped shovel frame having a “V” shaped angular lower handlebar and a linear upper handlebar. The system features a shovel assembly having a first shovel blade and a second shovel blade. The blades each comprise a curved first blade end tapering to a linear second blade end. The linear first blade end of the first shovel blade is pivotally attached to the linear first blade end of the second shovel blade. The first shovel blade is pivotally located on a frame first side at a frame bottom end. The second shovel blade is pivotally located on a frame second side at the frame bottom end. The shovel assembly can be affixed into a position having the first shovel blade and the second shovel blade in-line or at an angle with respect to one another.
