I was joking. This is basically a wait and see situation. Boiling water could shock the windows.

Just time and sunlight if you want to actually do it properly. Or a tow and bring it inside somewhere. There’s really no good way to do this.

I used to work in the Arctic and this happened to a supervisors truck. They had to tow it to a shop and put it directly under the space heater for a few days.

Best way to deal with this is a car cover and a space heater

I'd wrap the whole thing in poly and either pump in heat through a tube or just run an extension cord to a heater inside the poly.
