About snow plow names

Every winter, cities and highway departments ask the public to name their snow plows, and the entries are almost always puns. Past public contests have produced names such as Plowy McPlowFace, Betty Whiteout, Ctrl Salt Delete and, among Scotland's gritters, Gritty Gritty Bang Bang. Those four are here for reference; the rest of the list follows the same spirit for anyone who needs an idea of their own.

The jokes come from a small, reliable vocabulary. "Plow" slides into now, power, pro and low: Plow or Never, Plower Play, Plowfessional, Plow Expectations. Salt, grit and brine give Seasoned Professional, Grit Scot and On Cloud Brine. Snow, sleet, ice and squall do the rest: Snow Far Snow Good, Sleet Dreams, Have an Ice Day, Squall Street. Song, film and book titles get the same treatment, and so do famous names, kept friendly: Wayne Gritzky, Melton John, Jane Frosten.

Not every truck wants a joke, so there are tough names too (Drift Buster, Tundra Tamer), regional ones for the Midwest, New England, Canada and Scotland, names for a home plow truck or snow blower (Auger Management) and simple ones for school contests (Snowy the Plow, Snow Day Spoiler). UK readers will find plough and gritter spellings as well.

How to choose snow plow names

  • If you are entering a public contest, read its rules first. Organizers set their own limits on length and content and decide for themselves what counts as a repeat.
  • Say it the way a radio host would. A pun that needs to be seen, like Plowhemian Rhapsody, works better on a ballot than out loud, while Drift Buster works both ways.
  • Tie the name to your place. A lake, a local dish or a regional word, as in Lake Effect, Hotdish Hauler, Wee Gritter or Nae Bother, tends to land better at home than a general pun.
  • For a school or class entry, pick something a six-year-old can say and draw: Snowy the Plow, Big Blinky, Penguin Pusher.
  • Keep famous-name puns friendly. Choose someone people like and play on the name only, as in Bill Flurry or Julia Chilled.

Frequently asked questions

What are some funny snow plow names?

Try Sir Plows-a-Lot, Plow or Never, Seasoned Professional, Flake Superior, Sleet Dreams, Snow Far Snow Good or Auger Management. If you like a pun on a famous name, the list has Wayne Gritzky, Melton John and Jane Frosten.

Can I enter one of these in a name-a-snowplow contest?

Use the list for ideas, then read the contest's own rules and past results before you submit. We have not compared these names with any contest's entries, and a few, such as Plowy McPlowFace, Betty Whiteout, Ctrl Salt Delete and Gritty Gritty Bang Bang, are known names of real plows and gritters.

What is a gritter, and are there names for one?

Gritter is the British word for a truck that spreads salt or grit on winter roads, the job Americans give to a salt truck or spreader. Grit Scot, Wee Gritter, Gritter Critter and Thistle Do Nicely are meant for them, and plough spellings such as Speed the Plough and Ploughing Ahead are there for UK readers.

What are good names for a home plow truck or snow blower?

The list has a group for driveway duty: Driveway Hero, Cul-de-Sac Commander, Auger Management, Chute First, Two Stage Fright, Little Blower That Could and Push Comes to Shovel. Most of them fit a tractor blade or an ATV plow just as well.
