-4 so back to bed, anyone working in this?

Woke up checked the forecast, checked van over. Warmed wife's car up as she has to work. Highest temperature today according to the forecast is - 4. Think that's to mutch so another day off   ? 

Highest today is 6 here in sunny Devon [emoji16] feels like summer [emoji23]

supposed to get to 0 in Northampton today but just not risking my van on all the untreated roads round here. Then all the problems with freezing on glass and leaving slippery floors behind. Will have to work Saturday but will see more customers and maybe a few more tips ?

I’m down the road in Deanshanger. At home that is not working!

Just can’t risk the van either. Weighted with 400-650 litres of water and the side roads are the ones to watch out for, once those wheels start spinning and even a slight decline its game over.

Left home at 5.45 here in Norfolk. Home by 12. That's Monday and Tuesday in the bag. Just Wednesday to go then the week is done!!

I tried.. Got to work, everything was frozen solid in the back! This was surprising for me because after the bad winters of 09 and 10 I have always insulated the back of the van and have never had an issue with anything frozen since. So that says to me that it was colder last night than it's been for the past 7 years! Not sure what to do for tomorrow..

Twas about 0° here in south Essex, all day. Nothing thawed. Even got my hose caught a couple if times on pieces of ice stuck solid on the pavement. Got my water all nice and toasty before I went out and had a blinding day. Just as well cause it looks like a soggy one tomorrow.

Working all week, even managed my deepest depths of ruralness!! Couldn't do it without hot water that's for sure!!

Just along the road, did Newmarket yesterday, Ely and Cambridge today. Got 1 decent job tomorrow then 3 big houses but forecast is for heavy rain in the afternoon. 

-10 yesterday morning just another summer's  day up here.

-2 yesterday and today morning. Water freezing on the glass first thing but by 10am just about workable although water was freezing in pole between jobs. Managed about a day and a half of work so not too bad. Above freezing but rainy tomorrow for me.

Yep full day. Great full for my gas water heater at times like this. Makes handling the hoses so much easier

Got down to -9 here but was 0 by 1230 so I went to work about 1145 until 330 (dark by then!). Not having a good week, today is forecast heavy rain all day too. Life of a window cleaner ?
