The Minnesota DOT just had a "plow naming contest" where they named their new plow.  What would we name ours here in Buffalo?

What do you do when your department of transportation gets a new snow plow?  If you're the Minnesota DOT, you have the community name it!  Why not?  People name their tools and their cars all the time.  It's going to be a savior for a lot of people.  Why not let them make their own personal connection to it?

They came up with some great ideas.  Some of the front runners were:

• "Ctrl Salt Delete"
• "The Big Leplowski"
• "Plowasaurus Rex"
• "Scoop Dogg"
• "Blizzard of Oz"
• "No More Mr. Ice Guy"
• "Edward Blizzardhands"

But the one that was able to take home the trophy was:  Betty Whiteout

If you've ever watched the show "The Golden Girls," you know that Betty White's character Rose Nylund was actually from Minnesota.  After her passing in December, it was a no-brainer that Betty Whiteout would be the winner.  It was a pretty big step up from last year's winner, Plowy McPlowface.

Because we are a bunch of radio people here we started to come up with some of our own "very Buffalo" names that we think would win in a plow naming contest here.

Some of our favorites inlcude:

• Salt-jaquada
• Mark Polonplowz
• Grand Iceland
• Plowson Knox
• The Josh Allen Express
• Orchard Plow
• Mayor Byron Plow
• Ice Slasher-Table Smasher
• In A Flurry And Don't Know Why
• Let's Snow Buffalo
• Tre'Davious Whiteout (Yeah...we copied them...but if they can do it, why can't we??)
• Slush Allen
• Snow Girl (Hey...Shark Girl worked)
• Winterstate 90
• The Big Blue Ice Plower
• Lake Effect Plow
• Wingman

What would you name your Buffalo plow if you could?
