Just a wet towel will take it off in a few seconds, wet like room temp tap water. It would have to be an extremely cold windshield and an extremely hot towel to crack it. So cold you wouldn't be riding and so hot you wouldn't be handling the towel. Just wet a towel and wipe a bit.

Oasis Day Cover
Works great Rain or Shine never a problem after 3 years of hard use
Oasis Day Cover
Protect your bike from the elements when you are out on the road. Lightweight and compact for travel, this easy-to-store cover rolls into the built-in zippered bag. Made from soft, 150-weight polyester, this black and orange water repellent fabric dries quickly for a quick get away. Custom fit cover features an elastic band around the bottom hem, and the four footboard stapes ensure a snug fit. The "Harley-DavidsonŽ" script and Bar & Shield logo prominently stand out on the fabric.
Fits Touring models (except Road GlideŽ) equipped with Tour-PakŽ luggage.

Anybody have a good suggestion for getting frost off the windshield? This has never been a problem when traveling on my Sporty. It has a quick detach windshield that I just take in the room.
On a recent trip, I went out and both sides of my UC windshield were covered with thick frost. Had to reschedule a meeting until later in the day once the frost had melted. However, I will not always have the option to reschedule and adjust my plans.

I live in the South (kinda) But, I don't always stay in the South when on bike rides.
The trash bag with pull tie sounds like a very good possibility.

Get yourself a Wally Mart Bike cover about $19.95. It packs down into a small size for road trips or ask the motel/hotel for a "Old bath towel.

or a warm towel the morning of sounds like the best advice.
Frost on the windshield means the possibility of frost on the roads,
I wouldn't be digging that !!!!
