I Woke Up to Two Degrees on the Boat! Surviving Freezing Cold Temperatures.

Freezing on a narrowboat, woke up to ice on the windows after the fire went out at night. Ice and -7 outside, 2 degrees on the boat. Our narrowboat in the snow looks more magical than ever, we waited two years to see Alba in white!

Fun fact; The Thames stopped freezing over because they built the embankment for the tube and sewer which condensed the Thames and sped up the water flow which stopped the freezing over.

this is not true It still freezes over upstream above Teddington when it get below 8 degrees for a few weeks I worked on the Thames in the 1970s and 80s and it froze over a few times at Hampton

Wow, where did u grow up? Also, how old are you? So much has changed is a short amount of time. I used to be amazed at what Jack Frost used to do to our windows as a child . You never see windows ice over anymore and I’m only 55.

Back in the 70's I remember waking up to glass of water frozen, and the toilet bowl frozen. There were times in the 60's when the water pipes froze and split. We were on a lake in Central Ontario, Canada. Some nights we were woke up by the Ice on the lake splitting with a ZINNNNNG!! and heaving up. I've often wondered how our ancestors survived in caves with rudimentary heat and fur blankets. Glad you were prepared, and not taken by surprise. I've subbed to keep track of you :D Happy New Year, 2023...

That blows toasty warm air all night long.. As long as I put a small log in before i go to bed and another around 4am..

When I was a lad in the early sixties, we lived in a big Victorian house with no central heating or double glazing. In the winter, I would wake up with the inside of my bedroom window covered in lovely frost patterns. I would sit there in my pyjamas and draw patterns in the frost and don't remember being cold.

In the late forties and early fifties when I was a Child, having Ice on the inside of our Window Frames was nothing unusual. Before we went to bed my Mother would iron the Sheets with an Iron full of hot Coal from the Fire. If we were cold my Father would put and extra old Coat on the bed. My two Sisters slept at the top of the bed and I was at the bottom with my legs facing up. I learnt to swim when I was two.😂😂 I am 79 now so it did me no harm. Our bodies are meant to work hard, not be mollycoddled.
