1. Don't warm up or idle in the winter. Get in and drive away.
2. Use COLD water to get ice off the windshield. I use my wife's (ok, OUR) big pans. Do this with the engine off. Then defrost as needed while you drive.
3. Ditto on getting a block heater.
4. Work with what you have available for winter driving. Find a gas station that doesn't have "winter" and "summer" blend changes. Good luck on that!
