Minnesota police know a thing or two about snow, and theyd like you to know you should clean it off your car before you hit the road or it hits another vehicle.
The Minnesota State Patrol tweeted a photo of a car that got pulled over recently for being almost entirely covered in snow, save for a small square of the windshield in front of the driver and the drivers door window.
Dont be this person when it snows. Please. Please. Please. A trooper stopped this car Feb. 14 in Elk River.
Yes, they were cited. Sure, maybe the snow would blow off onto someone elses car. Clean off your vehicles BEFORE you hit the road, the agency tweeted.
Several states have laws that require car windows to be clear of snow and ice, but Minnesota law requires them to be removed from all of the surfaces on a vehicle and holds drivers responsible if anything falls off and damages another car, according to River 96.7.

Old Jeeps were notorious for poor heaters. The heaters in my 2014 Rubicon and 2018 Cherokee are capable of smelting iron ore. Five minutes of warm up with the defrosters on high will pretty much clear any snow and ice on the windows (and on the ragtop Rubicon, will usually melt any snow on the roof).
Im retired and park my car in the garage where its snow proof.......
There is a Mayhem Commercial that covers that.
That's the ultimate in smartness........
What is that white stuff???
No Kidding on the heaters in the new jeeps. you can burn your hand touching the vent.
Give him a break. Looks like New Jersey plates on the car. And you know what that means. Well, more often than not it seems. :)
I saw snow once, it looked like pepper falling.

I moved from Texas to Georgia, where a front license plate is not required. So I left my front Texas plate on while sporting a Georgia plate on the back. Visiting New Jersey got me some strange looks.
In most cases it probably had nothing to do with the different plates. NJ is a strange place. Strange people tend to look at people strangely.
(only half joking) New York, where I am, is even more strange. But in a different sort of way.
Growing up in The Burgh, the saying was “Don’t be a peephole driver”.
I still have my king size ice scraper / brush, hasn’t been used in many years.
