Water would only freeze on a window if the glass was below freezing in temperature... Everyone has heating on inside which means no glass should be below freezing - I've never had any problems anyway.

I can tell you're a southerner! ;D ;D

With double glazing dramatically reducing heat escape there is every possibility that glass will freeze! Always worst on the side of the house that gets no sun!

One day last winter, at 2.30pm it was -9 here! Yeah, no problem! ;D

Its been really cold this week with today being the coldest at about 2c. I've started every day at 10 am and finished at 330pm. Last week in the month is always a pressure week for me as most of mine are monthly so need to get them all in.

started bang on 11am and worked up till 330pm.had a coffee break around 2pm for 15 mins.i didnt do too bad for a half day!

im poling tops and tradding most ground floor windows due to the chance of water freezing.also im salting the odd doorway.

it was very cold with an icy wind today.im not sure if starting at 9am is a wise move!might try 10am tommorrow although 1 c is forecast all day!! ::) ::)

Started a "first clean" on a new res. custy in Bristol at 8.30 am. Finished at 9.30. Very cold, ice on the grass but water not freezing on ground.

Drove out to South Glos and started at 10 am and in the shade the drives were frozen. In a big city you do get two or three degrees extra of warmth compared with the countryside.

Finished last house at 3.30 - could have done another but would have had to drive for twenty mins and so didn't bother.
It's a game of three halves!

I'm in Manchester Daz, started 8.30 this morning. Water only freezes up on the glass when they haven't any heating on indoors. Only ever happens to me on the odd conservatories or the odd porch.

I think you'll find Cozy is the one playing up mate. He does this time every year once the cold gets in his nuts he starts behaving like an old woman
