I warned you last year: clean the snow and ice off your car before driving.

Let's review since you clearly didn't internalize the message last year...

• When you can't see out your own vehicle's windows because you didn't bother clearing them of snow and ice, you're a hazard to yourself and everyone else.
  
• When blowing snow and large chunks of ice come flying off your vehicle and slam into the other cars in your vicinity, you're a hazard to yourself and everyone else. This goes double for you SUV owners.
  
• When you're sitting in your car to warm it up before driving, close your door. The rest of us would like to pass you.
  

Don't make me come down there with a snow brush... I won't be using it to clean your car.

In early January, I was following a truck onto I-25 that obviously had not moved since the 12/29-30 massive snowstorm.

Climbing the on-ramp, it hit a little bump and the entire snowfield on top of the truck slid off and WHOMPED right in front of me. I swerved and missed it, amazingly, but it would have been bad.

Later that day, I saw a small sportscar that hadn't bothered to clear ANY of the snow from his car, except for a spot in his front windshield...good lord!

I don't get it.
