Deposition occurs when water vapor in the air turns into a solid and is deposited onto a surface. When the air temperature is below the freezing point of water, any water vapor that comes into contact with a surface will freeze. In this case, the water vapor in the air likely condensed onto the cold surface of the windshield and froze, forming ice. So your anwser is deposition!

I tried my best and have a happy holidays!
