The name-a-thing trend that brought the world Boaty McBoatface for a British submersible and Blizzo for a Minnesota state snowplow has come to Washington County. County residents have until Dec. 15 to suggest a name for one of the county's plows. The suggestions will be reviewed by county staff before top ideas will go to a public vote in January. Any submissions that include profanity or inappropriate language will be rejected.
