The three windows that face north in the tower cab are encased in ice.  They are completely opaque. There is no view of the NW quadrant of the airport; which includes the departure end of Runway 01L.  This condition started early this morning XA:00 and continues through the present XS:15.  There are aircraft operations being conducted with multiple snow removal teams in the immediate vicinity and that part of the runway/taxiway/airport and is not viewable from the tower.I recommend taking steps to remove the ice from the tower's windows as soon as possible.
