People that are experiencing your first ice storm... and are trying to clear your car windows...
DO NOT USE HOT WATER...!!!
You will have to get new windows - as the glass will experience a heat shock and crack.
Just run the car with Defrost on high and wait... that is the best.

Also - don't pound on the windows with any tools... let the defroster heat from inside... it will do the job - be patient.
