Eaaapp! Wrong answer.
The block heater takes care of that.
No, the block heater doesn't do
all your window scraping for you, but if scraping causes that much duress then window covers of some sort are in order, or a garage, or move to a temperate climate.
Yes most people gravitate towards the extremes of lazyness and if there is a remote start it soon gets enlisted as a remote total window deicing device.
And that is why we don't see remote starts being used for a couple of minutes- perhaps somewhere online there is a real statistic on idle time when remote starts are employed but I'd wager it's closer to 30 minutes than a couple.
