I'll second going to synthetic lubricants all around for anyone living in a cold winter climate.
I've got a large piece of vinyl fabric that I use for the windshield. So far, it's never failed at keeping frost/ice/snow buildup off the windshield. It's large enough that it covers the entire windshield, and I lock it into my front doors, top to bottom, and use 3 rare earth magnets to hold it down. 40mph gusts haven't removed it with that setup (although some snow does blow under).

Highly recommended, as with a block heater and the cover, you can drive away after 15 seconds (assuming adequate block heater warmup time).
