I got into my car last night saw these patterns on the inside. Some of them just look like frost formed on some streaks from when I must have wiped it, but then there all these really intricate patterns of intersecting straight lines. There were no cracks or scratches on the interior that I could feel.
This picture is the most interesting because the lines make a nearly perfect equilateral triangle near the center of the picture:
Zoomed out, you can see one of the places where it looked like frost formed by sticking to lines of grease or something left over by a wipe:
There was an interesting rhombus-like pattern also:
And also a hexagon pattern in the bottom center of this one:
Zoomed-out picture showing most of it (the date and time on the clock are both way off so ignore that):
I've never seen this before and I'm wondering what could have caused it? I posted this elsewhere and several replies (who apparently did not read when I said they were on the inside of the windshield) insisted that it was due to wiper fluid.
Given how many near-60-degree angles there are in the pictures, I assume it has something to do with the sixfold symmetry of how ice crystals and snowflakes form, somehow projected on to the inner surface of my windshield.
It was around -2 F out at about 60% humidity when I took these. I am going to see if the same thing happens again tonight since the weather will be about the same.

I want to look at what I guess are pictures but I don't want to spoil anything.
