2.did you grit any pathways/doors and if you did what with?

3.did you blade more work due to water taking ages to dry on the windows?

1.did you trad more ground floor work?
I did a few, last winter was colder than most winters I've had in 20 years


2.did you grit any pathways/doors and if you did what with?
No, If it was going to freeze and be dangerous I would not leave the paths wet

3.did you blade more work due to water taking ages to dry on the windows?
No, thats a backward step, it will dry eventualy
4.do you wear gloves when poling?
Yes, I had a few pairs of cheep cloth gloves that are rubber coated

thanks

Go and buy some bags of grit/salt from Wickes or similar now. It won't be there when the freeze comes.
