Cranberry Township’s Public Works Department can’t control the winter weather, but they can reduce its impact.

On Monday, the department announced a new name and graphic was chosen by residents to place on one of its snowplows: Ctrl+Salt+Delete.

The department had received 1,000 different entries in its “Name that Snowplow” contest.

The tech-inspired name garnered 30% of votes from the public works crew, beating out nine other entries. Multiple participants favored the winning name.

Graphic professionals from SpeedPro wrapped the plow in the new design just in time for its work. People can catch a glimpse of the plow along Route 228 in Cranberry Springs, Cranberry Woods and the MSA Thruway.
