It comes with the territory of living in Boston in the winter.

When the weather report calls for sub-pleasurable temperatures (<25°F) I try to remember to hit the window edge and guide with silicone. This helps a little. Usually just putting the heat up and making sure the air flow is directed to the windows, they usually free up after about 10 minutes of driving.

Happens to me all the time, just let heat go through the car and it'll eventually go away
