I did it one year with my credit card and looked a right knob trying to pay for my new hifi with a card that refused to work.

Engine running, all demisters on, 4pint milk bottle. Full of hot water, rub it on the windows and maybe a big finale of pouring it over the screen.

I also use the plastic “lid” end of a small Pringles can as a scraper. It’s a great shape and doesn’t cover you in ice shavings.
