Don t use water. Use a credit card to scrape it. Hopefully its not too frozen for that. They probably dont sell windshield scrappers in FL
In this state , scraping windshields is a daily thing..lol
Sometimes just using the blue windshield washer fluid is enough to get all the ice off
Let the car run for about 10 minutes or so, and make sure the front defrost is on. You probably rarely use that, lol! It will either mel it all or make it easier for you to scrape off.
Oh ya, doh, I forgot about that..LOL...just use your windshield defroster..yea, cars have this amazing thing called a HeaterQuote:

Whatever you do, DON"T stick your tongue out on the windshield, lol!
yeah. The defrost is something else.lol...I wasn't getting in that damn thing til it warmed up inside anyway. Hence the post. as the defroster was blowin.lol..it worked great!
Believe it or don't. With a humidity always above 50%. 100% all summer, we exercise the defroster plenty.
I was thinking about the (heat=rapid molecular expansion/motion=broken stuff) law.
Many times that I didnt have a scraper and had to get out and scrape the windows with a credit card and no gloves..then your hands are numb for a while while you drive away...I hate when that happens
You can just use water. You live on the coast like me, it's not cold enough for it to refreeze. It got to 32 here last night. I just hosed it off and turned on the defrost.
yeah. Once the sun comes up, the "hard-freeze" part is history on the coast.
I remember my pops useing water on his '77 F-100 back in the day. The defroster these days even blows the side windows.
LMAO!!! We're going through a blizzard as I type this and I'm reading this post about how to get a little ice off a windshield!!!
It was freezing last night here and Thursday the high is going to be 74!
