Along the lines of what camper4 posted. I had a cousin in MO almost killed from snow and ice on the roof of a semi.
She met up with a semi on a curve and the snow and ice on the roof of the semi trailer let go and came through her suv windshield.
Sheets of ice flying through the air at 50 to 60mph can be deadly to others.
After seeing what she went through I have a whole new attitude about traveling with ice and snow on the roof of the rig.
About the only thing you can do is sweep the snow off as best as you can and if there is any ice sometimes it will melt some and let go with a little travel.
Just be careful about traveling with deep snow and ice on the roof for the safety of others.
