That's not that cold.

I can't see how it can physically be done unless your thermometers are out.
We don't even get temperatures that low here where i live at night let alone in the daytime.
 I try to clean in low temps. Once it gets to -4 or -5 then the brush is like a rock even if you keep the jets clear,
 ice is forming on the glass and the sills freeze up within seconds.
Any water hitting the ground freezes and the pole jams up. At some point you have to shut the flow off
this is when your kit freezes.
At -14 0r -20 your tank will be freezing over, even diesel starts to gel at those temperatures.

ps. Ice doesn't dry on the glass so how you know the glass is clean is amazing

[Don Kee]

Where is everyone cleaning getting temps of -16 to -19...??
Rare to get those temps in daytime in britain i'd have thought?

I think the sea would freeze at those temps as well as waterfalls, how you can keep a 2mm metal jet free of ice
would be very interesting.

apparently water ultimate freezing point is somewhere in the 40 minus
temps.

so in certain conditions water can stay in a liquid state up to that
temp.

old Dirty D has got his bee in his bonnet with me about saying
it wouldnt be possible..which i havent said once

incorrect again dirty D
the only comments i have made are to do with the practicality
and safety.

Lol.
I don't do stressed bud.
I was trying to culminate the whole thread into one snippet, nothing more.
Btw-I'm adding if you've worked to -5 you've got a cold system.
Try hot, even if you don't want to work when it's cold, you might like it.

Muppets talking S**** eh?

Well you know best.

Minus 2 when I started this morning near the moors, the only hassle cleaning windows I had was when it came to cleaning one conservatory that had no heating inside that room (double glazed) windows. Ice was starting to form at the bottom of the glass as I was cleaning the top half
..... worked from the top (brush on glass) all the way down in 2-3 ft strips pulling the fresh ice down with my brush.

Had I started at the top and worked the entire width of large windows instead of working in strips I would have found it much harder going as the glass would have frozen thicker thus slowing me down even more.

[weetot]

Ive done it in minus 30.  But not cleaning windows!

[G Griffin]

Even the Scottish lads won't work at -14.
It's not that they can't, it's because they're scared their wives' will put the heating on when they're out.

[matthewprice]

Don't be daft if she goes and chops the logs she can put the heating on but usually sweating by that time so no need

[Jonny 87]

I've my airing cupboard padlocked so missus can't get to the controls. 

[PoleKing]

I came home tonight to find a load of windows open.
She said she was too warm.
After turning up the thermostat last night!
Don't know they're born some women!

Hey Jarvy, if the picture of the van temp gauge is out of a Renault van, it could be +6 outside
Mine was always 12* out

Looks like a vauxhall to me.
My van and car usually show the same temperature, or close.
Usually within a couple of degrees of forecast...

I think he's a VW man

It is a vauxhall,but mostly french underneath! It does read pretty acurate though.
