Reply to comment by MadKat_94 in Bill would up the fines for not clearing snow and ice off your car by WillWriteForFood2

Seriously makes no sense. Why not "You can't drive on the road if there's a bunch of snow on your car?" Is there some nuance I'm missing?

48 hours from when a snow event ends? What qualifies as a snow event? What qualifies as the end of a snow event? And is weather not different in different places? And, as you say, even if this did unambiguously designate a cutoff time, are you allowed to just go nuts before then?

Yep. Pretty much agree, except right now there’s no official law regarding removing snow from cars in Maine. Personally, I carry a “Snow Joe” roof rake for my car. Has a rectangular dense foam pusher on one end of a long pole. Takes maybe five minutes to get everything off. Our other car has an extendible brush/squeegee with a scraper on the other end of the pole.

But it’s common sense. Not just for the hazard you present for others but for yourself when that ski hill atop your car avalanches over your windshield when you stop.
