South Dakota
Snowplow name contest winners announced
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – For the past four years, the South Dakota Department of Transportation has held its “Name the Snowplow Contest” as a light-hearted way to remind people to give plows some room as they clear the highways.
This year’s competition closed at the end of November but we won’t know the names of the winners until later this month when they get to see their names plow. Of the more than 650 entries submitted, this year’s wacky names include South-Da-Snow-Ta, Frostimus Prime, Clearapathera, Snow-key the Bear, and Not my first Snowdeo to name a few.
For more information regarding the names of the winners from each area please click here.

5 safety tips for winter driving conditions in Arizona
Taking a trip up to Flagstaff or driving through Prescott during the Arizona winter? Here are five tips to stay safe when cruising on winter roads.
The Republic
State Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, announced on the social media platform X on Sunday that he had left the hospital, about a week after breaking bones and suffering other injuries in a single-car crash in South Dakota.
Kern, who was visiting family, was riding with a friend through a snowstorm when the car hit ice and the driver lost control.
He posted that he was out of the critical stage and making his way back to Phoenix, but he couldn’t fly due to a collapsed lung.
Kern is finishing his first state Senate term after three terms in the state House. This fall, he opted to run for a congressional seat rather than seek a return to the state Capitol but lost the GOP race for Congressional District 8 to Abe Hamadeh.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Partly cloudy skies are expected. A stray shower or two will be possible, but chances aren’t great. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s for much of KOTA Territory.
Wind gusts could range from 30 to 40 mph at times – especially across western South Dakota.
We’ll remain mild all Christmas week with highs in the 40s to near 50°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will be likely all week long. It could get a little breezy on Christmas Day, but nothing too crazy.
