MDOT Wants You To Help Name Their Snowplows

I'm sorry to inform you, but "Sir Salts-A-Lot" has already been taken. 

The Michigan Department of Transportation is taking a cue from Scotland, and will name their snow plows so that you can track them better online at M Drive, the site that allows to find out where the plows have been.

Ellen Bacca over at WOOD-TV 8 tweeted a look at some of the Scottish names you can steal, if you want to, but I prefer to come up with my own.

You can submit your snow plow names here.

Here's a few of my ideas:

• Grit Rapids
• Beet It (they use beet juice now to de-ice)
• The Jenison Juicer
• Michigan-Ice (You know, a play on "Michigan Nice", no? Okay, fine.)
• Gordie Plowe (after good old number nine)
• Squall Bunyan or Plow Bunyan
• Gerald R. Frost
• Gerald R. Flurry
• Gerald R. Snowboard
• Spready Mercury
• AmGlaze
• Forest Chills
• Scraper Joe
• Slick-Fil-A

If you want to track local snow plows now, you can do so here.
