Abstract: A snowplow blade assembly is provided wherein the plow blade is provided at its opposite ends with snow deflectors. Preferably the snowplow blade assembly is also provided at its opposite ends with pivotable end extensions to which the snow deflectors are attached. Preferably each end extension is pivotable through an angle greater than about 175.degree. from a fully extended and retained blade end extending configuration to a fully folded and retained blade length reducing and extension storage configuration. Each snow deflector comprises a base, a deflector plate that is pivotable relative to the base, a biasing member, an anchor for fastening the springs to the base, and arm members for connecting the springs with the deflector plate so that the deflector plate is biased into an open but deflectable configuration relative to the base. The snow deflector components are arranged and configured to move snow without becoming snow bound.
