WISCONSIN - There might not be snow on the ground just yet, but Monday, it's a day to recognize snowplow drivers.

Governor Scott Walker has named November 19th "Snowplow Driver Appreciation Day" in Wisconsin.

It's to acknowledge their efforts to make roadways safer and keep traffic moving before, during and after winter storms.

Walker also encourages drivers to be careful whenever they're around plows.

He says people should stay at least 200 feet behind a working snowplow, and limit travel during storms.
