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
-
i started at 8.40 this morning first window i did froze towards the bottom,went to the van and added screen wash and was ok and it was 0c,windows that were exposed more to wind chill freeze easily im dreading wen it gets colder

High st shops, I need to get them done before the traffic trolls come out. Its not dark, theres plenty of street lights. Just damn cold
-
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.

Still aim to at 1st job for 9am weve been lucky around here not too cold but is very very cold tonight so filling up now whilst everythings not frozen then sticking me oil filled rad on high in back of van ready for tomorrow.
My first winter as a windie and went wfp 2 weeks ago ... not great planning but the oppertunity came along ;)

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.

4.30am this morning

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.
