A snowplow nicknamed The Big Leplowski is seen in Detroit Lakes, Minn., in February. The Minnesota Department of Transportation is currently holding its third naming contest for its plows.The Minnesota Department of Transportation was one of the first departments in the country to start holding snowplow naming contests, Meyer said. The state received more than 24,000 suggestions for its inaugural contest in 2020 and more than 11,000 last year, she said.
During the first winter of the pandemic, MnDOT looked for ways to connect with Minnesota residents on social media and discovered Scotland's tradition of naming its snowplows, which they call"gritters."
