Every year, thousands of Minnesotans vote on names for the giant machines that clear the state’s roads. Winners over the years have included Plowy McPlowFace, Scoop Dogg and Han Snolo. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is expected to announce winners of its 2023-2024 Name a Snowplow contest next week. Minnesota will add eight selections to more than three dozen names already gracing trucks. The state began naming its 800 plows in 2020. The contest's popularity has prompted states and cities across the country to hold similar contests to name snowplows.
