Curious. I always thought that a spade was the flat one and the shovel
was curved. Perhaps it depends where you live. I would have gone for
the curved one for removing snow, whatever it's called, but we get so
little snow down here in the far west of Cornwall (none here ATM, and
a 'warm' 4C last night), so we don't have much experience at removing
it!

Perhaps you would like to come here and get some experience!
