Get Ready to Plow Through Punny Perfection as MnDOT’s New Snowplow Names Set to be Unveiled Tuesday Afternoon

(KNSI) — The winners of the fourth annual Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Name a Snowplow contest will be announced this afternoon.

MnDOT whittled down the choices from more than 8,000 submissions to 50, and the general public voted for their eight favorites – one for each district. Voting on the 50 names ended at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.

Judges considered various factors, including uniqueness, frequency of submissions, Minnesota-specific ideas, and names that would be easily identifiable and understandable to most audiences.

District 3, which covers central Minnesota, has Better Call Salt, Darth Blader, and Scoop Dogg.
