Where are you located?
I know that the Monro Muffler chain carries them in stock.

Re: Winter Wiper Blades
Google for <Anco "30-13" winter> and you should see a few (relevant) hits.
Price is usually $6-8 a piece. I like the Anco because the connector doesn't
need an adapter (the NAPA/Trico versions I have seen are made for the "pin"
style connector and use a clunky adapter to work on the new style wiper
arm).
