The votes are in & Taylor Drift is the big winner in this year's "Name a Snowplow" contest

I'm a bit surprised the snowplow with that name will be in Northwest Minnesota where, I would guess, there will be plenty of Trumpers who will become apoplectic whenever they see it. (Based on a Facebook thread, there are plenty of incels upset by this name winning).

The full list is:
Taylor Drift, with 12,027 votes, will be placed in Northwest Minnesota.
Clark W. Blizzwald, with 6,667 votes, will patrol central Minnesota.
Dolly Plowton, with 6,315 votes, goes to District 1 in Northeast Minnesota.
Waipahinte (the Dakota word for snowplow) Will handle southwest Minnesota after receiving 6,266 votes.
Beyonsleigh will handle west central Minnesota with 6,016 votes.
You’re Killin’ Me Squalls, with 5,922 votes, receives southeast Minnesota.
Fast and Flurrious is assigned to District 7 in South Central Minnesota after garnering 5,897 votes.
Barbie’s Dream Plow will clear the Twin Cities with 5,787 votes.
