I think you've got to judge each job on its situation.  If your water is falling onto grass; then you've no problems, but if it's falling onto a path or pavement, then you've got to salt the area it hits. 

Don't clean doors/entrance areas with WFP at all; use trad.

I am lucky in so far as most of my 25 liter containers were left empty. I have 3 that are frozen absolutely solid, just filled up for tomorrow.
I found out that my Mrs who usually fills them for me had not been checking the TDS, the last jobs I did before Christmas was with TDS in the 50's, I'm surprised I had no complaints.

funny enough last year i was using water with TDS of around 70, not 1 complaint

it was just that i hadnt checked the TDS and my RO had gone to RO heaven

Haven't read all the replies so if I've missed something I apologise, but how a bit of trad? I'm no suggesting you go up a height (God forbid :o). I've got my work schedule lined up for next week and I know what I have in the way of bungalows. If that's all I can do due to the cold, I'll still be working. No need to worry about water freezing on the ground or spreading salt. If you are not able to clean windows other than by wfp, I'd ask yourself why.
