Just pour hot water over the ice until it's all melted, then use the wipers 
to clear the excess liquid.  That will keep the glass warm and dry enough 
until you get things warmed up.  All cars are designed to survive thermal 
shock like this, if your windscreen cracks then it would have cracked anyway 
due to the next stone that hit it or whatever...
