Frosty windshield

It is been really cold this winter, temperatures drop below zero every night. Thou no snow yet this season in Toulouse.
In the morning we have that spectacle of seeing the city covered by a white layer of ice. It is the water that freezes when the temperature drops. You must have seem it in The Day After Tomorrow.
Here it is not that fast and it takes some times to cover my windshield. For the first time, I don't have a closed garage to park my car, so it gets all frosty at night.
The morning after, I have to wake up earlier an de-frost my car ... lol ... carefully not to damage the glasses. I am going for the common solution of putting card boxes on top of the front and rear windshield, it helps a lot, thou it doesn't protect the painting.
Maybe one day, I go shopping and get one of those plastic covers that really protects all your car.
And the inside too, because a car covered by ice it's pretty much a fridge ... lol.
