South Dakota Names Winning Snowplows

The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) recently announced the winners of its annual Snowplow Naming Contest, aimed at promoting winter driving safety among residents. This year, winning names like 'Hans Snowlo' were submitted by elementary classrooms from Custer, Pierre, and Winner, showcasing community engagement. Over the next two months, winners will have the opportunity to meet their named snowplows and share stories on social media. Meanwhile, Worcester, MA also celebrated its own snowplow naming contest, where students from local schools submitted pun-filled names such as 'Snow More Mr. Ice Guy'. City officials praised the creativity of the students and noted the educational benefits of the contest. Both contests highlight community involvement and the fun side of winter maintenance efforts.
