Yes it the metal around it expanding its pretty unusual though the window must have had a flaw,I see it alot in the summer from extreme heat though

The back window of a car can shatter in ANY weather. It usually involves some type of horseplay or vandalism.
Cold weather in itself might crack a rear windshield but not shatter it.
(The front windshield is the "brittle" glass type that shatters easily.)
The reaer window would chip or crack, but not shatter. Something had to hit it hard to shatter it.

i dont think so... is the car airtight? ... i think the glass is not thick enough to shatter. due to temperature difference...
edit: oh the metal parts of the car could have shrunk a lot then...
or the snow could have built up the backside of the car and.... melted in the morning. hehe

all depends on how old ur car is cause the older cars windows were not made the way they are today or somebody could have just broke ur window..

I guess since all teh cold had frozen teh window and since it was cold outisde the high air pressure might had put force on it.
