Madison Reporter

You have until 8:00 pm today, February 24, 2025, to cast your vote for the names of six snowplows. The options include names like Jump Plowround, Snowy Tribbiani, Frank Plowed Right, Leslie Snowpe, Auntie Freeze, and Juuuust a Blizz Outside. Voters can choose these or other options available.

Voting is accessible on the Wisconsin Salt Wise website. More information about the plows and all candidate names can be found on the Streets Division’s plow naming website.

The results will be announced once name tags for the winning vehicles are ready. If everything goes as planned, the results should be available in just over a week.

There will be another edition of plow cards featuring the new names. However, there is no specific timeline for when these cards will be ready as they require time to design and print. They may not be available until winter 2025/2026.
