GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Winter is officially here in West Michigan, and while the snowy weather makes the roads a hazard, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has found a way to have fun with it.
About a year ago, MDOT announced its effort to name all of the snowplows in each of its eight regions.
In the Grand Region, which covers the Grand Rapids area, MDOT has selected a hilarious or clever name for each of its 39 plows. From "Aaron Brr, Sir" to "The Great and Plowerful Oz," the MDOT team has immaculate taste in winter-themed puns.
