They still have the ones with V-shaped blades here in St. John's. I seriously doubt if they are WWII vintage, but the blade is most definitely V-shaped. But the residential streets are extremely narrow here - a large source of frustration during this 450+ cm snow winter - but we won't go into that here, because I've ranted myself out on that one to anyone who will listen!

Now why do I have this desire to use "plow" for snowplow but "plough" for the thing used on a farm? Maybe something to do with "ploughshares" not "plowshares" in some Bible verse...and I like the coherent look of snowplow (although it's pretty sick that the two halves of the word don't rhyme - they look like they should!).
