If your hose freezes on the ground daz
Just reel it back in and put the reel at the Exhaust
And the heat will defrost it in 5 mins

And of you go again   
keep it simple

Cold system here too. Brush head froze briefly when I extended hose 80m with the flow too slow, but otherwise ok. According to BBC long range forecast, we are to have this weather until next Friday at least.

Been working in -2, still up to date thanks to the hotsystem. Was initially going to have tomorrow off, but will work instead of Friday! Seems like we will get some snow, don't want to get stuck on some customers drive.
