Massachusetts State Police Lt. Daniel Richard challenged residents across the state on Twitter to clear their cars of snow before they hit the roads.

Richard asked for Twitter users to send photos of their snowless vehicles to his username, @DGR2564, with the hashtag #LtDanChallenge and #ClearUrCar.

One vehicle in Winchester, pictured below, did not hear about the #LtDanChallenge and Winchester Police took appropriate enforcement action.

Drivers in Winchester who operate a vehicle covered in snow or ice face the risk of receiving a ticket from local police officers, according to Winchester police officials.

Twitter users had plenty to say about the snow-covered BMW:

Drivers should think twice before they drive with snow or ice on top of their cars. A significant amount of accumulation on top of a vehicle could blow off and block the vision of another driver. The airborne materials could damage other vehicles and cause accidents when drivers swerve or brake suddenly to avoid the ice and snow.
