PHOTO: State Police Pull Over Car Covered In Snow, Ice
FOXBORO (CBS) – It happens after every snowstorm – police are pulling over drivers who did not clear their vehicles of snow and ice before hitting the road.
Massachusetts State Police spokesman Dustin Fitch tweeted a photo Tuesday of a trooper stopping a car that had snow covering its roof, hood and part of the windshield.
A Trooper stopped this today in #Foxboro. ????

It's going to warm up the next couple days and those snow/ice missiles ???? will be firing off of vehicles. Think about those around you and #ClearSnowBeforeYouGo! ❄️ pic.twitter.com/1fWgelQXGQ
Temperatures have been well below freezing in New England since the weekend storm, making it difficult for drivers to clean off their vehicles. But Fitch noted the impending warm-up will only make things more dangerous for surrounding drivers.
"It's going to warm up the next couple days and those snow/ice missiles will be firing off of vehicles," he tweeted. "Think about those around you and #ClearSnowBeforeYouGo!"
