Check if the wiper have hinges or not, or if the hinges are wrapped with rubber.

Just like some people change the summer air in their tires for winter air.
In all seriousness, there are wipers that are better suited for winter months, especially in the snowy region. These wipers either have the hinges wrapped (old style) with rubber or just have one flat piece without hinges (new style). The reason is that with the hinges covered or no hinges, there will be no frozen hinges so the wiper can still work properly in snow/icy time.

This may not be understood for people who are not driving in snowy/icy conditions during winter months.
