Window Frost, made me late Options

[funnyboy117]

Well it's finally getting cold over here in the Bay Area (cold relative to what I'm used to) and when I came out this morning all of my windows were lightly frosted over, and the top of my car was pretty white. It doesn't snow or anything, but I don't have any way to get the stuff off. I went and got some water from inside (inside temperature water) and poured it on my windshield, but it took a couple of bottles to get enough ice off that I was able to drive to school.

Anyway, after running the defroster I realized that it helped to melt the ice also, so tomorrow I'm going to start the car up and let it warm up the windows for a while to see if that helps the problem. Does anyone else have any other idea of what I can do? I can't stand the noise of the squeegee trying to scrape off the ice either, so that's a no. That's just one of those sounds that chills my bones (like biting into ice cream brrrr). Any help is appreciated guys!

Yes I am serious, I was hoping for helpful replies that might be things I wouldn't think of. I thought water would only crack the windshield if there was a sudden temperature change, and the defroster thing...I mostly use the defroster to clear the window up when it fogs on the inside, because it doesn't work fast enough to get anything off of the outside of the window.

And it's not cold enough to freeze the water again, its only about 35-40 degrees out in the morning so there is just leftover frost from the nighttime. As for an ice scraper, I would think that would scratch the window pretty easily, wouldn't it? Thanks to anyone that gave helpful comments.
