In a preferred embodiment, the snow bucket comprises rotatably mounted about its lateral sides, a floating snow blade outwardly projectable substantially horizontally in front of the lower portion of each of the side walls of the bucket, as to float according to the conformation thereunder and to confine and to force the snow between the snow blades and the bucket to enter the bucket and to shovel it and thereby increasing the snow content of a bucket per stroke. Preferably, the floating snow blades are outwardly projectable substantially horizontally in alternation, in front of or in the back of, the lower portion of each of said side walls.
