Default cracked windshield

Hi,

I wound up somehow cracking my windshield yesterday at the car wash - when I left I pushed the wiper over (it was upright) and it somehow managed to crack the windshield when it hit the glass - its a crack starting where the wiper is about 3" up now. It seems to have grown overnight.

All the windshield repair places are closed today - anyone know if this is fixable or will I need a new windshield? I was reading online, a new windshield for a A4 is like $800? Frigging expensive car wash!
