[ARCHIVED] City of Battle Creek yields to Mother Nature, announces snowplow naming contest winners

Snowtifications Name-a-Plow WINNERS 24-25

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. – The City of Battle Creek is thrilled to finally announce the winning names from our snowplow naming contest! We planned to reveal these names in late February, but unforeseen circumstances led to a delay, and then the snow melted away and we thought it would be best to wait and unveil the names once they’re applied to the plows this fall.

In a twist of fate, southwest Michigan woke up to snow on the first day of spring. Coincidence? Maybe. Or perhaps Mother Nature is nudging us to get on with it!

Without further ado, here are the 10 chosen names for our snowplows: 

  1. Him-A-Layin Salt
  2. Blizzard of Oz
  3. Sir Plows-A-Lot
  4. Fast and Flurrious
  5. Austin Plowers
  6. Just Scraping By
  7. NoMoSno
  8. Blade Runner
  9. Snobi-Won Plownobi
  10. Feeling Salty Today

We received an overwhelming number of creative and fun suggestions from our community, and we can't wait to see these names on our snowplows later this year. Thank you for your patience and participation!
