Don't be this guy!!
Road crews have worked hard to clear the roads for the last 48+ hours. Please make sure you clear off your vehicles completely before you drive. Excessive snow build up can be considered part of your load.

Wis Stats 348.10(2) . . .
No person shall operate a vehicle on a highway unless such vehicle is so constructed and loaded as to prevent its contents from dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping therefrom.

Just stay where you are.

There are very little to zero reasons to be out driving right now. Plows and all emergency vehicles are struggling to get around so finding your stuck car and getting you to shelter could literally take hours. Again, just stay put until the roadways improve.
