[Londoner]

Thick frost here this morning. Water will be freezing on the windows? First job 8 oclock.

[windowwashers]

I am watching my kids christmas plays today one at 10am the other at 2pm so hopefully the frost will be gone and will work inbetween.

[Londoner]

My pole was frozen solid, well the water in the tube inside was and I lost over half an hour at the first job trying to thaw it out.
Am going to bring the hoses in tonight, What do you do? I can't be the only one with this problem.

[Wayne Thomas]

Run some hot water through my hosereel before I go to bed and cover the hosereel in a cylinder insulation jacket ready for work at start of next morning

[Wayne Thomas]

I have ez connectors (tails) fitted to my poles and always let water run out of my poles at the end of a working day so there is no water in them to freeze on cold nights.

Got my oil filled heater on timer in the van will come on about 3.30 leaving for work at 6.30 so should be nice an warm and all the hoses thawed out by then. Prob get a big elec bill but who cares. Always carry my bag of grit this time of year just to sprinkle over any entrance ways

Started at 9am in -2c, no problems at all, and lots of tips.

No gloves, no scarf, no hat, just money.

No problems for me - water started freezing on the frames and sills though. I stayed pretty toasty all day.
