The results are in: TDOT announces winners of 'Name a Snowplow' contest

Local 3 News Jan 6, 2023 Updated 12 hrs ago

UPDATE: The people of Tennessee have spoken! After weeks of voting, the Tennessee Department of Transportation's four snowplows now have names selected by the each of the state's TDOT districts.

"Snowlene" will represent Region 1, "Brinestone Plowboy" will represent Region 3, and "Sleetwood Mac" will represent Region 4.

Here in Region 2, "Big Leplowski" will be sweeping the streets next snowfall.

And, of course, TDOT recognized "Darth Blader" as an honorable mention.

5. Scotland: hol' ma beer..

Most are salt trucks - gritters - so tend to go off that pun a fair bit.

6. The article clearly undersells the crucial point:

There are only four DOT snowplows in the entire state of Tennessee.

9. Good ones.

Need more plows in Tennessee though. It's a big state, even though it doesn't snow often.
