Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) announced the six winning names for the City’s fourth annual “You Name a Snowplow” contest. In early February, the City posted 25 finalists from the initial pool of names received from Chicagoans, and residents were able to vote for up to six names through midnight on February 14. The six snowplow names that received the most votes include:

1. Abolish ICE

2. Stephen Coldbert

3. Pope Frío XIV

4. The Blizzard of Oz

5. Svencoolie

6. Caleb Chilliams

The City received a record number of entries (13,300) and voters (39,000) for this year’s contest. The ‘Chance the Scraper’ entry received honorable mention due to finishing just .24% out of the top six. Residents who first submitted the winning names (earliest time stamp when there are multiple submissions) will be offered a photo opportunity with the named snowplow in the next few weeks, along with city swag.
