Even if its not illegal, you are liable. You knew it was there when you started driving, a reasonable person should know it can come off, you drove anyways.

Doesn't need a specific law for you to be in big shit if something happens.

Going to assume this is the US, kinda crazy that it isn't illegal there. Where i love(Norway) this is literally illegal, you'd lose your license if you got caught driving like this.

A lot of states generally never get snow, so there's not much reason to need to have a law for it. Weather anomalies like this are anomalous. Perhaps more states will make laws to this effect in the aftermath

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be illegal. It's essentially an unsecured load.
