The neighbour is following my windshield wiper trick. Just bend the arms up to keep them off the windshield. 1 time I forgot to do this and it snowed and froze overnight----next morning i went to clean the windshield and the rubber froze to the windshield----i had to get 2 wipers right away wasting my time and money! So not only did i wreck them, i couldn't use the 1. I was also forced to get 1 lousy summer one as a good one was not available, good thing it's on passenger side.
When you bend them up it is also easier to clean windshield and it saves your wiper blades.

 

Whats the white stuff on your car? Dont get that in my country.
Average 32°c over here.

 

this morning it's -16 degrees celsius, been cold this winter.
White stuff on car that morning meant Groundhog Wiarton Willie didn't see his shadow so an early spring can be expected! Let's hope!
Groundhog day was yesterday along with lots of accidents! Hope you like your poisonous Cane Toads who are taking over Australia!

 

Cane Toads are good for golf practice, but the Queenslanders can keep them up there
