FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Would you name your snow plow Fergus Flurry, Blizzard of Oz, Rasplowtin, Mr. Frostbite or Bob?

These are the names that were hand-picked by the city after its Name a Snow Plow contest earlier this month.

Kids ages 5 to 12 were asked to submit names for the city’s snow plow, and now the public is being asked to vote on their favourite out of the top five submissions.
