How to Defrost Your Car Windows Twice as Fast

Seeing as it's winter here in Minnesota and there's both snow and cold in our immediate forecast, is there anything more annoying than waiting for your car windows to defrost? Here are a few science-based tips to speed things up.

The gang over at Gizmodo recently looked some studies NASA did and applied the scientific principles involved in why your windshield frosts up in the first place -- and how to speed up the process of defrosting it.

4. Crack open the windows
