The votes are in and more than 122,000 Minnesotans have voted to name eight snowplows in the state’s fleet. And, of course, Plowy McPlowface tops the list.
The winning names are: Plowy McPlowFace (Metro district); Ope, Just Gonna Plow Right Past Ya (District 4); Duck Duck Orange Truck (District 1); Plow Bunyan (District 2); Snowbi Wan Kenobi (District 6); F.
