Default Re: got snow?

An update on the Bosch blades I used over the winter:

I'd have to say that they did well in all conditions. They handled snow, ice, sleet, and rain well.

Streaks: A
-Forget about all those stupid streaks you get right away with conventional wiper blades. It has taken a few months to develop them, and even now there is only about one that really annoys me.

Snow Resistance: A
-Blades refused to clog up under heavy snow or become popsicles.

Rain: A
-Great rain performance. RainX windshield fluid makes them even better.

Wear Life: A-
-They're about 6 months in now, and are still alright, but I have a feeling the metal rods are starting to lose some downforce on the windshield. I suppose this is a good lifetime, but they also are $20/each vs. $8-$10 for conventional blades.
