While working I mostly kept my rigs in a shop. But there were sometimes that I needed to remove snow and de ice. That only took seconds to do as I would have a gallon pail full of very warm water to throw across the window and had a push broom to quickly remove the snow.
Everyone always told me not to do that, never had a problem down to single digits. Now I can't say -10 would be fine since I have not tried that!
It's my method of choice too. But I haven't tried it at anything less than -5°F. The water doesn't have to be hot. 80° water will melt ice just fine. In my experience it hasn't even increased the lengths of cracks or starbursts already in the windshield. I'll use the wipers to dry the glass after the water has melted the ice.
But keep in mind I'm a native Texan and it gets cold in East Texas but not as cold as up North.
