Not unless they've made it an offence in the last couple of days without telling anyone.

Many road users have been concerned in particular by rumours that they could be fined for driving with snow on their roofs.

Strathclyde’s Road Policing Unit said that while there is no specific legislation on driving with snow on the roof of a vehicle, if it slips over the windscreen, or flies into the path of another car, it could leave the driver open to being penalised for driving without due consideration, dangerous driving, not being in proper control of the vehicle, not having a full view ahead and windows not being sufficiently clean.
So as with most things its not a specific offence but if you extract the urine you can be dealt with in a suitable manner.
