Kenn,
I just use a good ol' spade-type garden shovel. One of these days i'll buy a folding shovel.
...and didn't you start a thread with the same title as this one a few days ago?

Bob,
I think you are right. I apologize. I started a thread about something called a tiger claw to assist your rig to get out of snow.

I purchased a 4 foot tall spade shovel with handle for $11 @ Lowes Hardware. I just strapped it onto the side of my roof rack and its ready to go within seconds. Ive only used it two times in the two months ive had it. Blue

any ol shovel will work so long as it's not old and falls apart.
watch out for cheap plastic handles that can break as RobT2k has done on one of the runs I did with him. Any ol shovel that Home Depot/Lowes sells is fine
Just get one that you like. Prices range from 5-25...

Yeah my handle was held on with short nails. I replaced them with longer screws and it holds up nice now. It's just a $10 D-handled shovel and fits on the floor across the back of the cargo area (secured of course)

I like this little jewel. It's the Gerber/Fiskars NATO spade. A bit pricey ($38), but very compact and light. I keep it in my little storage bin in back.
This place has the best prices I've been able to find:

I also like having this Fiskars tool on board:
