foglights caked, arc-shaped clear path on headlights...

No, it was the wipers. They do work. There was ice caked on the parts of the headlight lenses that the wipers don't reach. Ice had also built up at the top and bottom of the wipers' paths, preventing them from moving full-range, but they kept a sizeable part clear.
This was relatively extreme conditions, though...driving on snowpack on the interstate. My favorite part of the trip was watching a Jeep pull out of a snowbank in reverse, back onto the road, then trying to turn and accelerate in the direction of the road. It just spun in a circle. The Saab had no trouble with the conditions :)
