Its not that had to walk into walmart or autozone and just grab a set of wipers. They are pretty much all going to work the same or not work the same in the snow. If you dont mind the look, just buy the winter wipers. A $4.99 wiper is going to work in the rain or snow just as good as a $19.99 wiper. It all depends on how you wish your wiper to look when on your car. I prefer the "style" of the bosch Icon or rain-x Latitude just for the fact they they look better laying down on the windshield or when in action. But they dont work any better then a generic valuecraft wiper that has a metal frame across the whole arm.
