Scotland named every single one of their snowplows, and the names are hilarious
· Dec 11, 2020 · NottheBee.com

They call them "gritters" in Scotland.

The country has 230 vehicles that remove snow and salt the roads, and every single one of them has been getting a name since 2006 when the Scottish Transport Ministry began asking children to give them monikers.

A few of my favorites are David Plowie, Snowkemon Go, Spready Mercury, and The Grittest Snowman.

You can actually track where the vehicles are at any time using this website (there goes my weekend).
