Snow is even purer then rain, so wouldn't worry about it.

Dress up warm.

Had fun working in the snow today.

Tip.  Keep moving, have flow up as high as you can so that it's not in the hose for long, don't stop and leave hose laying on ground for a long time with out pump running.  As regards cleaning, snow is actually good, it's pure and adds a little more friction.

The first thing to normally freeze is the t piece at the brush.  Water will also freeze on some conservatories and porches that have no heating.

got caught in a white out on my last job today, was doing a town house dormer 3 floors up, the kids and parents coming out of school opposite found it all highly amusing  :D and to be honest I was'nt bothered found it much easier than rain, gets in ya eyes a bit though  ;D suppose the biggest hazard is slipping over though fortunately it was not settling on the ground, could be a different story for me in the morning though  >:(
