Thank you Shawn. The problem was less serious than I had thought. Once I had lifted the hood it broke more of the ice that had built up and that freed the wiper arms at the base. The wipers work normally now.

This morning I cleared the snow and ice from the windshield and accidently turned on the wipers. They stuck at a 45 degree angle. then I was able to move to 90 degrees or perpendicular with the hood. they are stuck in that position. Occasionally they will twitch back and forth every 10 minutes. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the fuses? Do you know if there is power to the wiper motor? There should be power to wipers because they twitch every 10 minutes. They move about a half inch in either direction. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2011 Camry base model Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Camry yourself? What have you tried so far? I haven't tried anything yet. It is currently 15 degrees and snowing. I was looking at possible solutions so that when I went outside I had an idea of what to look for. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? I don't know.
