The problem is that my wiper blades end up freezing to the window and
end up tearing. tx

Get winter blades. The rubber is formulated for colder temperatures.

Use a windshield cover or keep the blades off the windshield when the
car is parked.

Don't turn on the wipers until the window is defrosted...

My neighbors and I simply lift the blades up when we park at night.

Never pull straight up, just hit them with the scraper along the glass
line. Then I do pull them up and let them hit the glass
a few times to clear the ice and snow.

My new set are really great, have TFE coatings.
