When that happens I bring out a gallon milk jug full of cold water and pour that, slowly, over the windshield.
At first it freezes, but then it thaws out. Use cold so you don't shock the windshield and crack it, of course. This works for me all the way down to about 20 degrees - and sometimes I just hit it with another gallon of cold water. Saves on antifreeze.
