Eight new snowplows are set to hit the Minnesota streets, each featuring a unique name decided upon through the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s “Name A Snowplow” contest back in early February.

According to CBS Minnesota, one snowplow, named “Blizzo” after Grammy Award-winning artist Lizzo, has already hit the streets and garnered some attention from the icon herself.

“Of all the awards I have received, this is by far the highest honor. To know that there is a snowplow with the name ‘Blizzo’ that is clearing the streets of the Twin Cities right now makes my heart melt – or freeze.” – Lizzo
