Hot and cold don't mix
Blasting the defroster on frozen glass heats the inside while the outside stays cold. That stress pulls on the weak spot a chip creates.
Bumps and potholes
Every pothole flexes the windshield a little. Back roads after a freeze are hard on chipped glass.
Tips until it's fixed
Warm the car up slowly, avoid pouring hot water on the glass, don't slam doors, and cover the chip with clear tape to keep moisture out.
Fix it before the next cold snap
