Frozen windshield wipers.

Posting up the wiper blades before the recent storm saved many a trip to the dealership for replacements or possibly a new wiper motor. If you don't get a chance; you'll have to patiently wait for the vehicle to warm up.Turning the blades on while frozen to the car may damage the blades as well as the wiper blade motor. Ice scrappers also damage the blades if not used properly.
