Another item I found. We had a bit of a snowstorm over the weekend.
Ice, sleet then 6" of snow. Temps hovered just at freezing. The
springs holding my windshield wiper blades froze up, so no visibility.
Went to the auto parts store and bought a set of Bosch Icons. No,
they're not cheap. Came in at about 40 bucks total. Did they make a
difference? Oh yeh. As I was buying them, a gentleman in the store
mentioned that he works at the local truck stop and the truckers love
them.
The spine of the blade is, in itself, like one giant leaf spring,
holding the blade to the window. Nothing to freeze up. I will not be
without them. They are great.
By the way, this storm dropped as much as 3" of ice in some areas of
Nebraska. Hundreds of power poles are down and there are areas that
will be without power for an estimated 2 to 3 weeks. The national
guard is already out dropping hay to livestock and emergency food is
going out via humvee and snowmobile.
