That looks like it can be filled in. Apple Auto Glass in Canada says that as long as it is under the size of a loonie and doesn't impact the driver's vision, it can be repaired.

Those can be repair. But better bring it to the shop asap, as temperature rising and dropping, it may stress out a longer crack! Should be fixed for around 60bucks.

Canadian dollar coin, has a picture of a Loon on it, about the size of a U.S. silver dollar.

I see a lot of places setup in mall parking lots and such around here that do free auto glass chip repair. Give them a shot if you find one in your area. Even if it doesn't work it was free to try, you contact your insurance and get a new windshield.

Yeah get it repaired. It will be a lot less noticeable once it's fixed. You'll still see it, but at least it's smaller and won't continue cracking.
