Typically the "flap" or more commonly called, the deflector is as wide as the plow itself. They tend to be 6 to 8 inches long, and roughly 3/8" thick for most plows. Its purpose to to prevent snow from spilling over the lip of the plow, which keeps it off the vehicles windsheild.
"It might appear at times that the snow plow operator is driving too fast for road conditions. While operators drive safe and legal speeds, at times they need to "roll" the snow to remove it from the road. A sufficient speed needs to be maintained by the driver to do this and clear the street."

No, to have snow on top (permanently) the height of the mountain must exceed that of the snow line for the particular latitude at which the mountain is located (the snow line is higher at the equator than it is at the poles). Mountains that do not reach this height are not permanently snow capped (they may have snow on in winter months).
Because it is by the equator which makes the reigion of Kenya too hot for it to snow. Actually it CAN snow in Kenya and does around Mount Kenya, an extinct volcano 5,199 metres (17,057 ft) tall. The mountain has snow on its summit and seven glaciers
The top of Mount Rainier is white because it is covered in snow and ice year-round due to its high elevation and cold climate. Snow accumulates on the summit and sticks around, creating the appearance of a white peak.
They first use a big plow to remove the layer of snow & rocks, then they put a layer of salt on top of the road, which will remove the last bit of snow and will also keep it snow clean for a while.

Vangelis-Conquest of Paradise There is another piece of music after Hammond loses his wedding ring ontop of the snow plough, any ideas what that might be?

the flap is located at the top of the plane

Yes, remarkable device
There is a flap at the top of the balloon :)
The plow cuts into the top layer of soil, carrying the top sod/crop residue and turning it under a layer of clean black soil which can be used for next years crop.
