Minnesota is still naming snowplows by popular votes.   Plow mcplowface was taken last year.  
 

my favorite is "no more mr ice guy"

But are they better than Scotland's gritter names?

Scotland names its snow plows and their titles for 2021 are still amazing -  Roadshow

We don't have plows. We have dump trucks they bolt something plow-like to the front and then do nothing with it because the operators can't drive in the snow and ice either. 

Thank God for all the dirt roads we have and road graders in the fleet. They are our only saving grace.

Yeah, but your drivers actually know how to drive in the snow and ice. Ours don't. Especially down here on the coast.

It takes two or three snows to get the musclE memory back.  First few snows and every road is wreck central.

I wish we could start naming ours. We put a plow on a lot of garbage truck in addition to the spreaders. The spreaders are fun, I miss running ours.
