After some fast experimenting, I found that pushing the switch up always made the wipers work fine at high speed. Pushing the switch down no longer did anything. Pushing the switch in would no longer start the wipers (which is what I always used to do), but it would still stop the wipers.
So, that doesn't really sound like a broken switch, and the wipers seem to work just fine (at least at high speed). Once we cleared the pass and the snow went away, the wipers seemed to behave themselves again.
Has anyone run into this? I'm not really sure what to start replacing, but I don't want to be caught out like that again.

Given that it was a temporary condition that only happened with snow I would start working it out from there: perhaps it was the temperature that caused a loose connection to completely disconnect (and the reconnect once warm again) or since snow sticks maybe it caused a temporary short.
So I'd look for loose connections (at the wiper motor and behind the switch), or look for places snow could get to and cause a problem.
