DULUTH, Minn. — Halloween can often be a reminder that snow is just around the corner... just ask any Minnesotan who was living in the state back in 1991.
While the idea of snow may not always be welcomed, city officials in Duluth are hoping to make the transition a little more fun.
Voting is now open online for the city's first-ever snowplow naming contest after more than 300 suggestions were submitted. The 10 finalists to choose from include:
- Enger Plower
- Blizzard Wizzard
- Dewaagonebidood ("the one whi is pishing/plowing snow" in Ojibwe)
- Lake Snowbegone
- Sled Zeppelin
- Snow Dozer
- Edgar Allen Plow
- Plowus Maximus
- D’Lhut Drifter Lifter
- Plowabunga
People will have until Nov. 4 to vote, and the winning name will be announced during the Christmas City of the North Parade on Nov. 22. To vote, click here. The person or persons who submitted the name will win a photo opportunity and will ride in the plow during the parade.
The idea stems from the Minnesota Department of Transportation's "Name-A-Plow" contest that was introduced back in 2020.
