Freezing water on windows

Glad to see the back of this week with all the freezing water and hoses and to top it off locks going on van rear doors.
Just got the snow to look forward to now.

Started on the padres house at 8.30 full of good intentions. stopped at 8.35 as water freezing on windows! That was using a trad pole to first floor. Went back when the sun came out and finished it.
I've found if its much below -4 then it just dosent work, water freezes, wiping cloth and squeegee blade go hard etc.
Later on I did a massive house for the first time, the new occupiers brought me with them.
Wanting to get the pricing right I called at the house next door and asked her how much her window cleaner charged her. ' I havent got one she replied but I had a quote' ended up with both houses at £40 each, nice last job on a friday.

I've worked every day this week but last two days started at 12. Every house ok except one today where the conservatory windows froze as soon as I put water on.
