"Snowplow Polka" is a humorous work of fiction describing the exploits of Millie and Ollie, two energetic polka loving senior citizens, who decide to go into the snowplowing business. The setting is northwest Wisconsin during the winter holiday season. Concerned relatives, eccentric neighbors and dangerous cabin robbers will all stand in their way, but the annual Christmas Polka Dance must go on.

Ambrose McGuine (rhymes with "wine") is in fact David and Valerie Atkinson, a husband and wife writing team. Both graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and worked in the St. Paul Public Schools. Snowplow Polka was inspired by the many colorful characters and welcoming locales they have encountered in northwest Wisconsin on umpteen trips to visit relatives and friends. They are now retired and reside in the Twin Cities, where they find the snow plowing services to be, for the most part, acceptable.
