So you’ve probably seen the Scottish Snow Plows with the whopper [pun-based names](https://www.scotsman.com/news/weather/scotland-gritter-names-here-are-the-hilarious-names-of-scotlands-gritters-and-how-to-track-them-from-sled-zeppelin-to-basil-salty-3946388).

I tried to make a list of Irish versions, and with the help of some pals on my [Instagram](https://instagram.com/deadly.ie), we ended up with these. Tell me what we’re missing:

​

* Tiocfaidh ár Thaw
* Snow Dolan
* Chilly-an Murphy
* Sledward
* The Thaw Doctors
* Frances Gritsgerald
* Brian O’ Drisc-cold
* Shane MacPlowan
* Chris De Brrrrr
* Grainne Snowige
* GO TOBOGGAN
* Ronan Heating
* Marian Skis
* George Bernard Thaw
* Snow, Move, Shift
