And does the snow really not stick to the safety glasses? I wouldn't imagine they would be designed that way, but it sounds like they work for you
Hi mtalinm

I was enroute to Michigan for a family visit, so this is my first chance to post. Home Depot had two brands or types if I recall, both about $ 5.00. I don't remember the name; it was about two years ago and they still are fine. I took a picture on my above referenced post. They have pretty wide lenses with clear side panels and rigid earpieces, that allow me to attach my Take-a-Look rearview mirror. They are roomy enough for my eyeglasses and I use my previously described suspension system to keep my helmet from pressing them down on my face. My cut-off for wearing them is about 35 degrees F. Any warmer and the precipitation is rain, and I can keep my eyglasses reasonably clear with a baseball cap and wiping.

I've ridden in about 5 to 10 active snowfalls with them and don't recall a problem by just wiping off with a finger, with no streaking. This week, on Monday if I recall, there was a light but wet snowfall, and on 14 miles, I think I had to wipe maybe twice.
