Last winter, Minnesotans submitted thousands of names to officially name eight snowplows across the state.
The winners last year were Plowy McPlowFace, Ope Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya, Duck Duck Orange Truck, Plow Bunyan, Snowbi Wan Kenobi, F. Salt Fitzgerald, Darth Blader, and The Truck Formerly Known As Plow.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has brought back the contest this year and submissions are now open. In the spirit of possibly most Minnesota Coffee Break ever, let’s get in on the fun by letting some songs inspire snowplow names.
For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that would make for a good snowplow name?
