“Another storm, another bad decision,” Trooper Dustin Finch said in a tweet after stopping a blue Subaru that was almost entirely coated with snow and ice. “Please, please clear snow before you go.”

Finch stopped another motorist on Interstate 95 in Dedham with a snow-covered back window.

When asked why the snow wasn’t removed from the vehicle, the driver allegedly said that he “wanted to get to the gym.”

A number of windshields across the state have been either shattered or cracked by flying pieces of ice in recent days.

The Spencer Police Department shared a photo of a damaged windshield on Twitter, which was allegedly caused by an “ice missile” on Route 49.

A 6-year-old girl was hurt by a chunk of ice that broke loose from a truck and went through her mother’s windshield as they drove along Interstate 495 in Andover last week.
