Don't be so wussy!

No such thing as bad weather, just inadequate clothing. ;D

So Malc's alluring winter wear is:-

Underpants(!) ;D
Two pairs of socks
Jeans (if weather dry) add regatta waterproof leggings if wet
walking boots
collarless t-shirt
collared t-shirt
thin sweater (if windy add fleece - but feels a bit restrictive)
workwear industrial cotton jacket
regatta waterproof with hood
polythene gloves (like you get at diesel pumps)
sealskins (re=inforced at wear points with duct tape)
Woolly hat

Hi-vis vest when working commercial or in fog

I look gorgeous in that get-up! Eat your heart out pro-pole!

Thing is, it's normal winter temperature really.
It could be like this for months like last year.

It's just a shock to the system because we've been spoilt by 13 or 14c lately, and it's suddenly dropped of by 10c. :o

Kept all my gear frost free overnight.

Did 2 houses & then the hose on my short pole froze.

Stuck it back in the van and continued using my 20' pole for everything - Toned the shoulder muscles! ;D

1/2 hour later short pole was ready to use again.

Just lucky the hose on my longer pole didn't freeze.

-2 to 4 degrees C tomorrow!

Can't wait  ;D

I was lovely & warm today. Hot water (not too hot in case of cracking panes of single glazing windows as it was very cold today) and I wore my ski trousers today for the first time this year. Wear sensible clothing and you can't go wrong. I highly recommend ski-trousers (Lovely and warm)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suffer from chronic arthritus and when the weather is extremely cold but dry I am the happiest window cleaner on this forum because my arthritus is at it's least painful. I Absolutely love this weather, the colder the better I say. If it snows or is a few degrees below freezing you will find me outside somewhere cleaning someones windows singing my head off and feeling very, very happy.  Does anybody else like this cold weather or am I the only one?

Hi guys,

Bit foggy today......but it was boiling all day in Loughton......BUT that was probably due to the thermal top, bottoms, water proofs, big warm jumper, 2 pairs of socks water proof jacket and big warm hat and gloves. 8)

Was a bit cold first thing tho  ;)
