Then, as the car starts to warm, you can easily scrape off each of the squares.

Oh, you can also get a small cigarette lighter heater (approx $25) to start warming the interior before the engine warms up. But don't point the heater towards the glass. Just have it point to the center of the passenger compartment so it warms the glass gradually.
