i'm just happy that HN has a sense of humor and every US DOT that has snowplows should have such a page. these are too good. TIL: Heikki Lunta is the embodiment of the Finnish snow god character who originated in the mythology of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The character of Heikki Lunta is a product of the heavy Finnish-American presence in Michigan's Upper Peninsula combined with a tremendous annual snowfall.
