I'm not sure if this has ever occurred to anyone else, but, it's happening to me..
I had the windshield replaced in November/ December and now I'm getting frost on the inside of the windshield. Anyone heard of this before?

the carpets are wet/full of snow. If you use actual carpets, take them out and let them dry...take a shop vac to the carpet that cant move, get as much moisture out as possible.

I get this now and again in the winter on both of the Focus's. It only happens when I'm at work. The way I'm parked, the sun comes in the back hatch and if there is any snow or ice on the outside of the front window it starts to fog up the inside of the front window.

Here's another possibility: they may have or you may have wiped the inside part of the windshield with some cleaning agent and though it looks clear when dry.....in the winter the invisible film will turn into frost.
I had wiped the interior of my windshield once and never noticed anything until a few weeks later on a cold day, there was frost on the inside of windshield and i realized it was the cleaning agent (the residue) that had turned to frost.
Be the change you want to see in this world.

That's exactly what it is, and the added moisture in the car helps the situation along.
