Wet proofs and spare uniform complete, couple of good books, good quality hand cream and some decent music for when I'm stuck in the van waiting for the weather to clear.

But as I have just got a new house with a massive garage, the timer will come on about 04:30 and by the time I have had my 2nd coffee the van will be toasty warm ...no lugging everything out of the van each night to prevent freezing and getting caught out the 1 night I dont!!!

Cheers
Dave.

Hot wpf - thermostatically controlled cycle into the tank. No frozen bits or icy windscreen  ;D

Spare uniform always an essential, Sealskinz for the hands, wolly hat pulled over the ears.

I have to say working on the cold bright days is my favorite time of year to work.

Tinsel a must a tips time  ;D

yeah it is my fave time too, once you warm up in work you dont feel the cold, but you dont overheat like in summer, and its easiest time to clean glass!
