In New York State you could be fined anywhere between $150 and $850 dollars if your windows and lights are not clear of snow and ice. That also goes for the top of your vehicle. Driving with snow on the roof could cause white-out conditions that are unsafe for drivers behind you on the roads.

According to traffic law S 1229-E, you are responsible for clearing snow from your vehicle.

S 1229-E. CLEARANCE OF SNOW, SLEET, AND HAIL.

So before you head out to work or play, make sure that any snow on your ride is cleared so you don't get fine and the ride is safe for you and everyone else on the road.
