With a mix of local heroes, catchy slogans, and pop culture icons, the 2025-26 Snowplow Naming Contest winners do not disappoint! The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is excited to announce this year's five winners. Nearly 6,000 people participated in the ranked-choice voting portion of the contest that took place between Jan. 14 and Jan. 25. Then the results were tallied to reveal the five winning snowplow names.

And the winners are....

Keep Portland Cleared submitted by Jonah Edwards

Mississlippy submitted by Chris Kiley

Damian Blizzard submitted by Joel Feik

A Sleetcar Named Deicer submitted by Dan King

Pink Pony Plow submitted by Cary Morrison

There was most likely more than one submission for each of these names. Shoutout to everyone who submitted one of the winning names, but we’re honoring the person who submitted the name first.

Five PBOT snowplow drivers from the Maintenance Operations Division (with the help of some familiar faces) helped reveal the five new snowplow names. You'll also find the reveal on our social media channels: Bluesky, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

When PBOT responds to snow and ice, crews are in 24-hour emergency response operations, working 12-hour shifts. But for the rest of the year, snowplow drivers work a variety of jobs: maintaining gravel streets, paving roads, filling potholes, and more!
