Any of you guys/gals living in cold climates having any problems with your power windows getting frozen?

I went out last night to pick up some fast food and as I was approaching the drive-through, I hit the switch to lower my driver-side window and nothing happened. The window was frozen shut. I tried rocking the switch back and forth to see if I could break up the ice and get the window loose but was unsuccessful.

I could hear the motor working and saw the inside door panel flex as the motor strained to lower the window, but it only moved a quarter of an inch. I stopped doing this after about 3 attempts because I didn't want to break something or burn out the motor.

I tried all the other windows, front and rear, and they were all frozen shut. There was absolutely no ice visible on the outside of the window, frame or rubber wiper strip, which means all the ice built up on the components inside the door.

I'm just wondering how that much water could keep dripping inside every door, enough that it caused an ice build-up thick enough to keep all the windows from working. This kind of concerns me as it doesn't sound like Toyota tested in a thaw/freeze environmental chamber when doing their R&D on the the Tundra's design.
