We're expecting more snow in the Mid-Ohio Valley this week and if you don't take the time to scrape it off your car it could cost you.
Ohio State Highway Patrol officers said it's a vehicle obstruction citation that could cost you $130 in Washington County.
A Wood County Sheriff officer said across the river you could be cited for not being able to see out the rear window. This comes with a fine of up to $100 dollars or ten days in jail.
Sgt. Terry McGill of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said "Because it is a very dangerous situation to try and drive that car and be able to see what you need to see and it's very limited with the ice overnight on the windshield and the snow."
Officers are looking for the front, rear, and side windows to be cleaned off.
Sergeant McGill said when there's snow or ice on the road remember to driver slower and leave about three times the distance you normally would between you and the next car.
