The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has announced the winners of its “Name a Snowplow” contest for the 2024-25 season. A total of eight snowplow names were selected from over 7,300 submissions by the public.
The winning names are: Anthony Sledwards for the Metro District, You’re Welcome for District 2, Don’tcha snow for District 3, Sköl Plow for District 1, I Came, I thaw, I Conquered for District 7, We’re Off To See The Blizzard for District 8, Snowtorious B.I.G. for District 4, and Plowabunga! for District 6.
The contest received over 23,000 votes from the public, with staff members evaluating submissions based on factors such as uniqueness, frequency of submissions, and Minnesota-specific ideas.
This is MnDOT’s fifth year of the “Name a Snowplow” contest, which was inspired by Scotland where they have been naming plows since at least 2006.
