People do this in Western NY.

And Boston. PP, it all depends on the kind of snow you are getting.

Done in Colorado (at least in my childhood), but as said above depends on the type of snow. They would make no sense here.

My neighbor is from Syracuse. She learned to drive in Syracuse. She always puts her wipers up right before the snow. I guess you don't speak for all the drivers from cold weather climates

Because we all pretend it doesn't snow here.

I was told they are illegal in VA (didn't confirm)
We keep a set in our vehicle for trips to Snowshoe.

Nice hyperbole, PP. And 100% wrong.

I bet PP has gotten her blades frozen to the windshield and burned out the motor and cursed her bad luck.

That would be great! With chains on, you must reduce your speed ...most manufacturers(car and chain) recommend 15 mph top speed. When the chain breaks, they damage your car.
