This fall schools from around Vermont came up with names for VTrans snowplows in their local maintenance district. From creative and clever, to cute and silly, here are the new names of VTrans plows that will be serving their communities this winter.

Each school will be visited by their newly-named plow on Wednesday, Nov. 17 as part of Vermont Plow Day. Schools are encouraged to take pictures with their plow and share on social media with the hashtag #VTPlowDay.
