The Winning Snow Plow Names and Their Stories

The judges had a tough time selecting the winners from the flood of imaginative entries, but finally, the best of the best have been chosen! Here are the winning Minnesota snow plow names:

• "Blizzard of Oz": Submitted by Dorothy Gale (fictional, of course!), this name perfectly captures the magic and sometimes overwhelming power of a Minnesota blizzard. The snowplow sporting this name will be clearing roads in the southwestern region of the state. [Insert image of snowplow with "Blizzard of Oz" displayed prominently].

• "Sir Plowsalot": This chivalrous name, submitted by Arthur Pendragon (another playful submission!), will grace a snowplow dedicated to clearing highways in the Twin Cities metro area. [Insert image of snowplow with "Sir Plowsalot" displayed prominently].

• "The Snowplow Express": Submitted by Jane Doe (name used with permission), this aptly named snowplow will be speeding through the snowy landscapes of northern Minnesota, ensuring timely snow removal on major roadways. [Insert image of snowplow with "The Snowplow Express" displayed prominently].

These winning snow plow names represent the creativity and enthusiasm Minnesotans brought to the contest. The creative snow plow names were selected based on originality, humor, and relevance to Minnesota's winter conditions.

Public's Favorite Snow Plow Names

Beyond the official winners, MnDOT also recognized the public vote snow plows – the names that received the most votes in a separate online poll. Thousands of Minnesotans participated in this democratic process, making their voices heard and showing their support for their favorite popular snow plow names. The top three included:

• "The Snow Day"
• "White Out"
• "Mr. Plow" (a nod to a certain popular Simpsons episode!)
