Stress cracks. They usually start at the edge of the windshield and work inward, set off by sharp temperature changes, vibration, or pressure rather than an impact. A Berea winter supplies all three, and ice pressing on damage you had not noticed adds to it. Edge cracks spread faster than damage in the center.

Better not to. Berea drivers wash off road salt all winter, but pressure, warm water, and cold glass are exactly what make a crack run. Water also gets trapped inside the damage where it cannot evaporate. Rinse by hand and stay off the windshield until the glass has been repaired.
