If you dont lift them during the storm, after you unstick them from the windshield, there's always ice and crap stuck to them so they leave streaks all over the windshield. If you leave them up, they work perfectly after as long as you clean and scrape your windshield.

Its pretty common practice around here. Before a big storm, I'd say at least half the people in my condo parking lot leave them up.

Yep. But there's the difference, you're in an environment where a lot of people "follow suit" and it might be considered the norm. I park on the street, and to a (malicious) passer-by, wipers in that position kind of seem like an invitation to swipe them, especially if you're the only car on the block with 'em like that.

I leave mine down, touching the windshield. I agree with everyone so they don't freeze, but if you have a remote start (yes, I spoiled myself haha) and you set the heat on defrost at 90, it only takes about 10-15 minutes and they work perfectly. Don't know if anyone else has tried it, works great for me though!

I live in Westfield, MA and all the weatherman were saying we were supposed to get a ton of snow last night and today...Not a flake yet, think were supposed to get it tonight though. Joy, I hate snow, and I also hate not having snow tires.

Lol, my old 89 Maxima bad weather car is still running strong. I sold it to a coworker 3 yrs ago and she and her son still roll "chuckie", he has 264,000 miles on the original motor! I took good care of that car!
! Wish I was still living at home there (Manhattan Beach)!

This was in the morning when we had about 3" on the ground
This morning, I still had a big snow cap despite driving around a lot yesterday.
