Snow plow naming contest now underway in New Mexico

Can you come up with a snow plow name as good as Sleetwood Mac or Mr. Snow it All? You can now find out.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Can you come up with a snowplow name as good as Sleetwood Mac or Mr. Snow it All? You can now find out.

It’s snow joke – the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s “Name a Snowplow Contest” is underway. Now through Friday, Dec. 20, at noon, NMDOT is accepting creative, winter-themed or New Mexico-inspired names for snowplows.

After submissions close, NMDOT will select the “most creative and inspiring names” and give the public a chance to vote on their favorites. Then, the top 12 names will be assigned to snowplows across the state.

Here are the rules:

  • Each person can submit one name only
  • Names are limited to 20 characters (including letters and spaces)
  • No vulgar, profane, or inappropriate language
  • Politically inspired names, including plays on politicians’ names or slogans, will not be considered.
  • Previously selected snowplow names from 2024 are ineligible for 2025
