How The Snowy Weather Broke My Wiper Blades And As A Result I Had To Purchase Some New Wiper Blades Made From Silicone

Last winter saw some of the coldest weather that we have seen for many years, for a period of a couple of weeks where the temperatures in some places never got above freezing. Although these a few weekswere over the xmas period and the government recommended people not to make any unnecessary journeys, most people had to work, and see friends and family, and also make sure they had all the presents and food for festivities. For much of this period the main roads were kept clear by periodic gritting and clearing by snow ploughs, which then meant people could make journeys safely as long as they were careful.

I was one of the people who had to travel by motorcar a frequent basis, as I live about 15 miles away from where I work, and as I worked for a supermarket it was essential that I turned up to work at this busiest time of year. The first day’s journey took me an additional hour and 30 minutes to get to work, and I frequently manage to do it in only 20 minutes. The first day was so bad because I had to stop and help dig out several people who had got stuck in the snow and were blocking the roads. Thankfully for them, I live in a hilly part of the country and had put a snow scoop in the back of my motorcar along with some warm shoes and some warm clothing. I had done this mainly because I did not leave work until 10 PM and I knew that if snowed more in the evening it would not get cleared, and this would make it very difficult to get up the hill to my house.

After a few days or so of this I noticed that my wiper blades had began to split and I kept finding that the ice was forming on the wiper blade frames overnight. This meant that in the morning I had to remove the ice from the frames so that the wiper blades could follow the curves of the wind shield, which got frustrating time after a while. At least the covering of snow could be removed easily and the remaining ice could be cleared with de-icer and a wipe of the wind shield wipers if they had not frozen up. As the stores were not yet closed for Christmas, I decided to pop round the motorcar maintenance stores and get some replacement wiper blades before work. When I got there it looked like I was not the only person who had had their wiper blade fall apart as there were several empty spaces on the replacement wiper blades stand. I looked at the size of the wiper blades that I needed and then looked at the stand and there were none left in the low-cost part of the stand, so I looked in the more expensive part and there were several replacement wiper blades in that stand which were the right size. They were flat wiper blades manufacture from silicone, they were costly but they could operate in temperatures as low as -60 BC and were resistant to UV radiation, ozone, salt and came with a one-year guarantee. I thought I would give these flat wiper blades made from silicone a go as the flat wiper blades have a frameless design, so I would not have the problem of the frames icing and not following the curves of the wind shield. I fitted the flat wiper blades to my motorcar in the car park and set off to work and I instantly noticed the difference, as they were clearing the snow on the wind shield extremely effectively. I’m still using these wiper blades eight months later and they are still clearing my wind shield extremely effectively.
