Lizzo sends love to the Twin Cities after hearing about ‘Blizzo’ the snowplow
Sunday, Grammy winning singer Lizzo gave a shout out to the Twin Cities after learning about the recently named snowplow “Blizzo”.
“Blizzo” was one of the winning names of the 2023 Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Name a Snowplow Contest.
In a video on Twitter, Lizzo says, “Of all the awards I have received this by far is the highest honor. To know that there is a snowplow named “Blizzo” That is clearing the streets of the Twin Cities makes my heart melt, or freeze.”
MnDOT says more than 64,000 voters cast a ballot in the contest, and one newly named snowplow was assigned to each of MnDOT’s eight districts.
The top three included:
- Yer a Blizzard, Harry – District 8 (Southwest Minnesota)
- Blizzo – Metro District (Twin Cities)
- Clearopathtra – District 1 (Northeast Minnesota)
