Warm humid air from the house hits the window, falls (why you might feel a slight draft), and condenses. Not a huge issue, towel at the bottom will help catch condensate

Don’t chip at it. Best solution is to point a heat source at it and put towels down to soak uk the water as it melts.

Reducing indoor humidity by airing out, open all windows for a few minutes at a time and use a wiper to remove the condensation on the windows while they are open (so the condensate is expelled out of the room) will help reducing the build-up. Once the windows are frozen, this is of little help as they are usually stuck. Apart from that, improving the insulating property by installing dual glazing is a bit help.

They sell a cheap plastic wrap type sheeting that creates an air seal when applied to single pane windows. The plastic traps a layer of air between itself and the glass providing a small r-value insulation between the glass and the room. This is typically enough to prevent moisture from freezing and accumulating as well as reducing the leakage of heat through the glass. It's a temporary measure but in extreme cold situations it's a good quick fix.

Reduce your indoor humidity levels. Is this a bathroom or kitchen window? Maybe try circulating the air in your home better as well. If you have a furnace, move the fan switch from auto to on at the thermostat.

While generally true this might be one of the areas with sub -40 degrees outside and poor windows so there might tbh not be a lot to do for them
