And in my case, it's not an option - I'm the lucky slob that gets to pull
the,(Oh, honey, look at the deer!) tourists out of the ditch - before
somebody clobbers them and knocks them all into next week.
Make hay when the sun shines - or in MY case, doesn't.650cat425 and feldsforever Thank this. -
Try waxing the windshield it will stop the water siting there long enough to freeze.

You guys got it all wrong. Don't put any heat up. It's only icing on the outside, because it's warm enough to melt it and then freeze. If it's cold it will just slide right off, no phase change happening.

Mounted 2 in the cab corners blowing down on the side windows.
Mounted the other 2 above the rear view mirror blowing across across both sides of the windshield.
Wired them all up to a master plug.
Best thing I ever did or when it got super cold the windshield was freezing up as your feet were frozen also from running the defrost constantly.feldsforever and rbrtwbstr Thank this. -

Youze guys freeze if you want to, but i have a digital thermometer in my cab that I had up as high as 82 degrees in that last storm.
No ice on that windshield!! (and I just don't like being cold!)
Stock defrosters and heater fans are minimally efficient at best.
I'm in and out putting hook chains on cars, and that drags moisture into the cab, you get thawed out, and water has to go somewhere.
You guessed it, mist on the inside of your windows; hate that, too.
Already had to squeege the inside to see out, so the extra heater is for that, too. Once I'm inside for about 20 minutes I cut it back.
While I'm on a rant, I'm always out getting my hands in the slush and snow, doing what I do. You just can't help getting gloves soaked.
I found gloves on Amazon - Search: "Ninja Ice." (Get the XXlg ones)
THE Best work gloves I ever found doing this since 1983!!feldsforever, God prefers Diesels, Hammer166 and 2 others Thank this.
