Melburnians awoke to ice on their car windscreens and across their lawns after a night of below-freezing temperatures in many suburbs.

this was exactly what i experienced this morning when i left for work at 8am. as there is only one car-port in this house, my better half's car got the short end of the straw on most days. today, i decided to drive cecilia's car to my office instead as we need to fill up the gas in preparation for our cross state trip to adelaide, south australia tomorrow.
on first look, nothing out of the ordinary, as the windscreen is all fog up. so i picked up a piece of cloth to wipe it clear. of course, when everything felt crusty, i realized that frost has enveloped the car.still unsure of how to defrost a car, i drove to work with the windows down for the first 10 minutes. the car temperature reads 1 degrees celcius. and of course, 10 minutes is all i need to get into office :-(
p.s. my colleague told me later in office that one needs to just pour room temperature water onto the windscreen and things should just takes care of itself.
