is your car on the street or in your lawn? Don't Canadian Tire actually sell those fold away car ports for reasonable price?

to a certain extent.

that's exactly the same as you using your wipers rigoriously w/ washer fluid squirting the same time.

be sure to have your heaters on or they'll start to fog up.

If it's below zero outside, pouring water on your windshield will just give you more ice.

Like others have said, I'd suggest covering your windows with a tarp or cardboard. Either that, or spray it with something with a lower melting point than what the temperature is outside.

No hot water either - that will cause your window to crack.
