I microwave a measuring bowl of water, then pour it on the roof of my car so it washes down over the windshield and pretty much melts all the ice away. I’ve been warned pouring directly onto the windshield may cause the glass to shatter, so that’s why I aim for the roof instead.
Invest in water repellent winter windshield wash (look for the purple fluid bottle). At worst you’ll have a sprayable layer of frost to melt with the wash and some heat. If snow and ice actually does form on the windshield, it will slide right off with the slightest bit of force. With water repellence, the water will bead up and the wind will blow the water off of the windshield. I have no idea why I ever put up with windshield wipers basically smearing water around.

Okay… but wouldn’t that just create more droplets to freeze onto the glass?

Great way to crack the windshield, though.
The asterisk should go at the end, not the beginning.
