According to one website, it is a good idea to check your windshield wipers at least every six months for normal wear. As for changing them due to weather patterns, if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow and ice, there are winter windshield wipers, also known as winter blades. These are more effective at removing snow and ice than normal all-purpose rain wipers.

If your windshield wipers are not working, you should check your owners manual. It could be a fuse or another easy fix.
Why do your windshield wipers work if you push the lever down but not when you turn on?
If the windshield wipers work when pushing the lever down but not when they are turned on all the time, the problem could be in the wiper motor relay switch. There are two different relay switches for the windshield wipers, so that if the one fails a person can still clear the windshield manually.
What causes windshield wipers to vibrate?
Dryness will cause the wipers to vibrate or jitter against the glass. If there is not enough moisture on the windshield (for example, a light sprinkle of rain) the wipers may move with a jerky motion. Also, the wipers could be very old, and the wiping rubber/vinyl could have lost some of its softness and flexibility. If you mean vibration when they are not active, the wind against the windshield could cause them to flutter if they are not properly seated. A clean windshield and new wiper blades will usually cure the vibration.

Windshield wipers not working 1998 ford f-150?

Would tube socks put on the windshield wipers actually freeze to the windshield themselves?
I use to put cardboard on the glass under the wipers, leaving the wipers laying on the cardboard to hold it in place. Unless it is raining, the cardboard does not get soggy, and does not freeze to the windshield and the wipers do not freeze to the cardboard. I lived in PA for 38 years so I have dealt with ice and snow. Then I wised up and moved here to Arizona. 70 degrees today..................sorry to tell you! You could also put a sheet of plastic between the wipers and windshield. You have to start with a dry windshield and wipers so the plastic or cardboard does not freeze to either.
