aero blades more fragile?

[Huw Powell]

Actually I was dead serious - I picture someone with a remote starter 
looking out at this crap today (9" of wet snow), pressing "run", going 
back to their coffee, and the whole time the poor wipers are trying to 
move 100 pounds of snow because they were left on "auto" driving home in 
the mess the night before.

Of course, if they were *heated* wipers...
