Best wiper blades for snow/icy conditions

[Laelkhunter]

Preparing my vehicle for my annual elk chasing trip to Chama. I leave in 12 weeks, and need to replace my wiper blades. I usually encounter snow/icy conditions while up in that area for the two weeks I'm there. For those of you that encounter snow/ice on a regular basis, what wiper blades do you find most effective for clearing your windshield? Not talking about ice on the windshield after leaving it parked for a period of time. I have spray windshield de-icer, and plan to extend the wiper blade arms and cover them with an old pair of heavy wool boot socks, but what blades do you find clear your windshield the best when driving in snow and ice?.

I use Toyota OEM.

Not sure if the Nissan blades are comparable to the Toyota. Does Toyota make a different blade for vehicles sold up North that might encounter snow, or is it just the stock blades?

I usually get rain x wipers and pair those with a -30 below deicing washer fluid in the winter.

Same. Spend the money and get good stuff. Bosch is the only wiper I buy for our vehicles.

I bought the Rain-X 30 below fluid for the washer. Looking to get me some blades now, thanks.

New ones.
I don't think the expensive ones advertised to combat ice and snow do much better than standard.
When they my wipers get bad, I just replace with standard off the shelf stuff.

This is my thought.

They seem to go bad, at about the same interval, no matter how much they cost.

No idea. I believe they are standard all weather blades.
