Yes we were out, water was freezing on the windows from 3.00pm onwards.
Been finishing about 3.30pm all week, with temp and the light going.

Water in my tank was 3.9 degrees celsius. Sun was out, bitter cold wind was coming up the river in Dartmouth, I was wrapped up nice and warm washing windows all day ;D
Gonna cram a big commercial in tommorrow morning, then put my feet up :)

I worked for about 4,5hr today. Waterproof boots weren't that waterproof and my feet were Ice. Agony, then couldn't feel them anymore.  Still, made good money today.

worked today in heavy snow
guess what ?
van did'nt freeze , just as well as I have no heater
water did'nt freeze on windows, just as well as I have no hot water system
no iso either
hose left laying on the ground in snow whilst I worked for 3 hours on one large house did'nt freeze up either  ??? I really do wonder sometimes what all the fuss is about  ::)

the only problem if ther were one today was the state of the roads and the idiots unable to adjust to adverse conditions.

started at 8.30 this a.m, first time wfp in the freezing weather, my brush head kept freezing when i stopped and then my pole developed a desire to lose its clamps, then my backpack decided to pack in >:(, worked out a new way of working so i hardly stoppped thus no brush head freezing, fixed my clamps with a bit of extra tape ;), found that the dreaded negative terminal had once again worked its way loose. On the plus side though i am totally up to date and the tips are flying in. Also got my delivery off gardiners so i now have my bits to finish off my van set up and i also have a new brush head, the one you all rave about ;D
