A wiper arm is replaceable. Usually the hub that sticks up and drives the blade is metal, but the insert it fits into on the wiper arm is hard plastic. When under a heavy load, like snow this insert and be stripped out resulting in slippage when operating. Take it to an auto parts store and ask them to look at it to determine if they need to sell you and new arm.
