So there are no less than half of the cars parked in the parking lot at work that have done this today. Do they actually think this will help them when we get 90 inches of snow dumped on us today?

Not sure why nobody has ever commented on this, but here’s your answer:

It’s so that your wipers don’t freeze to the windshield. Granted, if you turn on the heat and let everything thaw, your wipers will eventually come unstuck. But if you don’t have time to wait for the windshield to thaw, and you need to scrape the ice and snow off, having your wipers up and out of the way helps this process, and then you don’t have to wait for them to come unstuck to start scraping.
