Why Nampa students are naming the city's snowplows

In anticipation of the winter weather, Nampa's Street Division is preparing its fleet of snowplows to help keep the roads safe. Which tends to be a bit more fun when the snowplows have names, so for the second year in a row the city's elementary students are holding a contest to name the snowplows.
