I own a 2003 Hummer H2. This is the second winter with this car and this problem has occurred everytime I drive in snow. I cleaned the entire windshield including snow and ice under the wipers, I warm up the car properly, I turn the defrost on (last night it was set at 80 degrees)/ within a few miles the wipers are ineffective because a layer of ice and snow has accumulated between the windshield and the wiper blades. Visibility---zero.
