came in to pick me up for some event, and wanted a bottle of hot water so he could pour it on to his windshield and "melt" the ice. Not being the quickest of fellows at that moment, I actually gave it to him. So we poured the water on the windshield and melted all the ice. Presto! off we went....and not surprisingly it took less than 2 minutes for the water to freeze and completely engulf the windshield in ice. We had no scraper, so we poured some MORE water on, and repeated the entire process. And so on and so on....

You're lucky the windshield didn't crack! I was bowled over watching some Aussie in the hotel parking lot do that and turn a little stone chip into a huge crack across the width of the windshield of their rental car. Going from -25 to +100 or so can't be good for anyone or anything!
Deelow - can you feel air coming from the dash top vents and blowing on the windshield? Might be time for a dealer visit, most service writers (that actually know about cars) might be able to help you for free if it's minor.
