NEWINGTON, Conn. — On Friday, Lamont uploaded a video to Facebook announcing the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT DOT) snowplow contest winners.
The names that won the contest were Plowzilla, Buzz Iceclear, Husky Mcsalty and Scoop Dogg.
This was the first-ever "Name the Snowplow Contest" the CT DOT has had. Residents all over the state were able to submit their most creative names for four snowplows that would represent four CT DOT maintenance districts in the state.
