A naming contest for a snowplow yielded the moniker "Taylor Drift," who is out today clearing Lawrence streets.

With winter on the way, it’s once again time to submit your clever nicknames for the city’s annual snow plow naming contest.

The contest is now in its third year, and like previous winners “Taylor Drift” and “The Blizzard of Oz,” this year’s winning name will be put on the side of one of the city’s plow trucks. But this year, it won’t be a people’s choice contest. Instead, the city said on social media that the snow and ice crews would be choosing the winner themselves from a list of 10 finalists.

Contestants have until 11:45 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 15, to send in names at lawrenceks.gov/snow. The winning name will be announced on Friday, Nov. 20.
