FWIW, I had a similar problem with my Porsche 911 when it hit its first
winter, but the crack started immediately above a defroster vent.
Porsche decided it was a faulty windshield and replaced it under
warranty (no further problems).

If there's no sign of a rock impact or anything else like that, I'd
certainly approach Honda with the assumption it's a warranty issue.
