Could just be a bit of condensation due to water left in the aircon system.

I believe the trick is to kill the aircon before ending your journey as if the condenser is still cold it will remain so and condensation ice or will form or linger, when starting up this will be deposited on the screen (condensation, not chunks of ice

)

Mine does just this as I always leave the aircon on automatic. It only mists the screen over for a few seconds. By the time I have finished messing around and am ready to drive off it has cleared.
