NAME-A-SNOWPLOW
‘Alice Scooper’ piles up votes in Arizona snowplow contest
Posted
INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
The winning entries have been chosen, and three Arizona Department of Transportation snowplows have been named.
After tabulating nearly 7,000 votes, ADOT’s Name-A-Snowplow winners are:
“Alice Scooper”
“Snowguaro”
“Frost Responder”
The names will be affixed to the driver- and passenger-side doors of the truck cab so the snowplows can be identified by name.
“Alice Scooper” will be stationed at an ADOT maintenance yard in Flagstaff, “Snowguaro” will patrol highways near Superior, and “Frost Responder’ will be in Page, according to ADOT.
In October, Arizonans submitted nearly 4,700 names in the first phase of ADOT’s Name-A-Snowplow contest. For the winning names, “Alice Scooper” was submitted by 25 people, “Snowguaro” was submitted by six people and “Frost Responder” was submitted by two people.
ADOT has 200 snowplows and nearly 500 snowplow operators at highway maintenance yards across the state, transportation officials said.
