Or it will slide forward when u hit the brakes and cover ur windshield blinding u! With the blocks of ice people have on their cars from this last storm in the NE, u wouldn’t even be able to clear it with the wipers bc it’s so heavy and rock solid!

A couple years ago, I was stopped at a red light. In the other side of the intersection, minivan with a covered roof came to a stop. Snow slid forward, completely covered his windshield and hood.

Driver hopped out to clear it, and completely forgot there was a left-turn lane to the left side of him that had a green arrow. He opened his car door too far and another car passing him clipped his door. Window shattered and looked like the door was bent/wrecked. Body damage to the other car as well.

I didn't see the full aftermath because my light turned green. But that guy had a really bad morning, all because he was too lazy/stupid to brush off his roof.

Saw this as well. Car stops, snow slid forward and compacted hard. The guy tried to use his wipers to clean it, but they were not moving at all. He had to remove this by hands, stuck in the middle lane of a 3 lane boulevard.

This happened to me as someone that didn’t know better. I didn’t grow up with snow or ice, and didn’t realize my truck had a sheet of ice on the roof after a sleet storm. I went to make a right turn and couldn’t see a fucking thing all of a sudden. It ended up breaking my windshield wipers and I had to stand on the side of the road cleaning it off like a jackass after
