You might have mice inside the dash.

When its cold, the windows should fog on the OUTSITDE, and any fog on the inside indicates excesses moisture in the car. Its very likely that the windows are fogging from moisture in the carpeting from wet shoes or whatnot. It is possible, however, that there is a water leak or leak in the heating core that is allowing lots of moisture to build up in the cabin. Keep on your toes for strange smells, and differences in engine/air condition/heat performance. Any changes in those warrent a trip to the dealership for a check-up. If it doesn't get noticably worse, I would just mention it the next time your car is in for a tune-up.
P.S. I don't have a whole lot of experience with cars; this is just what logically makes sence to me. Take my advice with a grain of salt. Best of Luck!

The windows fog on the inside from the condensation of water vapor. IE: your breath, wet carpets from your shoes, etc. The only way to keep it from happening is to leave a window cracked open so the vapor has a place to vent. This doesn't happen nearly as often on older cars because they aren't as air tight as newer ones.

Windows fog any time the temperature of the window is below the dew point of the air touching it. The dew point is the temperature below which the air connot hold any more water vapor, sot he water vapor has to condense into liquid water.
This can happen when the window cools down, or when the air becomes more humid. (Like when you're parked and sitting inside breathing - exhaled breath is very humid.)
Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cold air, so typically this happens when the air is cold and very close to it's maximum capacity of water vapor already, so it doesn't need to be cooled down much (or humidified much) before it's saturated.

The moisture that remains inside the vehicle when you park condenses on the windows as the temperature cools outside. It is probably a good sign as far as how well the doors and window seal off the outside air.

I'm no expert or anything but i have a friend that has an eclipse and his does the same thing. the same happens in my Honda Accord as well. i think it has something to do with the weather and air leaks. It kinda happens when your care gets older and all your weather seals and stuff turn to crap. all the moisture an stuff from the air outside condense on your windows.

The warmth and moisture of your body-heat and breath gets trapped inside the vehicle after you leave it. The cold from outside causes the moisture in the air end up on the surfaces inside your car, including the windows.

in that state it rains almost every day and the inside of the car could be wet causing the fog inside
it also might be the heater core gone bad

Moisture. It sounds like there is moisture in your car. My car does it too here in Oregon. Make sure you have plenty of water and anti-freeze so that it can defrost easily!

probably a leak in the heater core or the heat valve // hoses // some kind of small leak of antifreeze under the dash
