Winter wiper blades prevent ice and snow from adhering and clogging the wiper action. They're a simple change out.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine:December / January 2008
Regular blades often become clogged with snow and ice. The rubber covering on winter blades prevents that problem.
It's snowing hard and you turn on the wipers. The blade supports get packed with snow and the wiper blade either causes streaks or misses large swaths of your windshield. Winter wiper blades eliminate that problem. The entire blade is wrapped in a rubber boot that prevents ice and snow from sticking or packing. They make for much better visibility and safer winter driving.
