Is it best to keep your wipers up off the windshield during snowfall/freezing rain so the wipers don't ice-up on you...or...it doesn't matter what you do as ice will form on them regardless? I see cars in parking lots with the wipers up and wonder if these people know something I don't.

I thought it was a good idea myself when I'd seen it done in the parking lot but was told that the spring that holds your windshield wiper down gets stretched out it won't keep the blade on your window as tightly as before.

Is the person who told you about the wiper springs knowledgeable about cars or is this another myth?
Thanks Jimmy!
Sir, my bro(a mechanic) informed me of this after I left my wipers up for a full day awiting the last ice storm. I figure once in a while can't really hurt.
