After getting a blizzard of votes, Kelowna has a name for its new snow blower.
More than 17,000 ballots were cast, and Snownado came out on top with 34 percent, or nearly 6,000, of the votes.
Sue Robinson suggested the name.
The naming contest began in November 2022, when the city asked Kelowna residents to submit potential names for the new snow blower and close to 900 suggestions were received.
City employees cut those down to a top 10, which were put to a public vote from Jan. 24 to Feb. 3.
