That name again is Mr. Plow.
The Simpsons-inspired moniker was one of 12 winners as voted on by Winnipeggers in the city’s first Name That Plow contest.
More than 1,700 entries were received, the city said in a news release Tuesday. That list was narrowed down to 51 before an online vote crowned the best dozen.
The winning names are now displayed on the side of 12 of the city’s snow clearing equipment.
The Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Blue Bombers were also well-represented among the other winning entries:
Dancing Blade
Melt Stegall
Emperor Plowpatine
Kevin ShovelSnowOff
Sled Penner
Grady Oliveira
Hellebuycket
Slosh Morrisey
Greg
Mark Shovele
Winnie the Plow
Winnipeggers also voted for their favourite team name for a group of sidewalk and path clearing machines, as submitted by local classrooms. Brrrrr-ger Kings, proposed by Ms. Tugby’s Ecole Van Belleghem class, was the victor. The class will join Mayor Scott Gillingham for a pizza party at city hall to celebrate.
