 The Appalachian Wireless Holiday Sale is going on now. Till the end of the year, visit us in store or reserve online for an unbelievable sale on the hottest devices. We know what you want for the holidays because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 12 is kicking off their snow and ice season across the state. A lot of preparation has gone into gearing up for the coming snow and ice and KYTC is proud to say they're ready to keep drivers safe. Here in D12, we've been working for the last couple of weeks getting some repairs and things done on our snow plows. We do this what we call calibrations where we actually weigh the salt and make sure that the salt is coming out in the correct amount because you have to have that right amount to you know on the roads or it won't you know do its job. So we've done calibrations, we've done repairs, we've got everything up and ready. We've worked on our salt dunes. You know in D12 alone, we cover over 2,000 miles of roadway. Alongside the kickoff to snow and ice season, KYTC is also holding their first ever name the plow contest where you can decide on the name of one snow plow in your district. We really want the public to you know have a hand in on our snow and ice and really feel like their part of you know the district just as well as us and the motorists so we want a pair together. So we have this competition going on, it's called name the plow and so all across the state every district is going to get one plow that is going to get a name that's going to be able to be decowed on the plow and it'll be a plow that's more visible and you can kind of see it. It'll be in the winning county so whatever the winning name comes out of say it's out of Letcher County then that's where we will decow the plow and you know you'll see the name and kids can kind of follow it a little bit. To vote in the name the plow contest you must be a Kentucky resident. The name must be family-friendly and no copyrighted names can be used on the plow unless they are included in a play on words. Kentucky residents can submit names for the plow until December 2nd. You can make your submission by following the link on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 12 Facebook page.
