Snowplows are essential to enduring winter in Minnesota, so maybe it's not surprising that every year thousands of people vote on names for the giant machines — everything from Plowy McPlowFace to Darth Blader. The often-icy state began naming its 800 plows in 2020 and will announce winners of its 2023-2024 Name a Snowplow contest next week, adding eight selections to more than three dozen names that already grace trucks already rumbling down the state's roads.
