The winning entries are Betty Whiteout with 159 votes, Ctrl Salt Delete with 155, Flurrie Jenkins with 150, Harry Plower with 100, Edward Blizzardhands with 89, and Scoop Dogg with 88.
There were more than 30 entries in the contest and more than 1,600 votes were cast during the month of November for the winning names.
Last year’s contest drew nearly 1,100 name submissions and more than 5,300 votes were cast to decide the final 12 names.
The municipality has partnered with WINMAR Property Restoration, which is funding the plow decals.
