Use a shorter blade on the passenger side, not the driver's side, 20 and 24 seem to be about right.
Can't get the -45 washer fluid around here anymore, -35 is about it.
Haven't tried heated wipers or washer fluid. Would on my own truck. -
Seat low and back, tilt wheel up, window down, tap the cruise, stand up, smack wiper on the up swing just as it hits that left edge od the windshield.
I’ve been doing it this way for years and it works for me, independent results may vary.
***the cruise part is only needed if your going up hill or have traffic behind you.*** -
sealevel Thanks this.

It's just what happens when the temperature is just below freezing and the snow is heavy and wet. The only solution is to either stop and bang them off, or turn them on the lowest setting for delay (or off entirely for a couple minutes) and blast them full-fan, full-heat on defrost.
