In the past month or so, the snowplows in West Allis have been getting some semi-regular use as winter made its flurry-filled presence known to locals early. As useful as the road clearing vehicles have been to this point, the suburb’s snowplow fleet has, sadly, been operating without any names. Well, City of West Allis officials are taking steps to change that, and they’re asking you to help.
Yesterday, the finalists in West Allis’ “Name The Snowplow” contest were announced. Basically, people are encouraged to vote for their favorite snowplow-suited name between now and 11:59 p.m. on Monday, January 19. As you might expect, there are some real gems in the final 30 names (which were culled from a field of more than 300 total submissions). Some of our personal favorites include:
- Blizz-erace
- Clearopathra
- Ctrl+Salt+Delete
- Mr. Icy Pants, Esquire
- Ope Let Me Scoop By Ya
- Sleetwood Mac
- Taylor Drift
