Using a washing line on a frosty morning?

    Feel free to move mod.

    Ok, so woke up, saw a lovely morning here in Sligo, threw a big bundle of sheets into the washing machine. Went outside to collect post and realised it was sub-zero (-1), frost everywhere....now wondering is it a bad idea to hang my washing out on the line in the garden? Funnily this senario has never happened to me before :confused:

    Will my sheets be all stiff and not dry if I put them out?

    It is winter in Ireland, very hard to get clothes/sheets dry outside, even if it is a clear day,

    windy weather is the best for drying clothing, clear skys with wind could lead to clothing weapon,

    light overcast with wind, could get a result.

    Clothes need wind and a certain humidity to dry, for example -2 frost wind will feel like -6 and freeze the clothes,

    So to be honest it needs to be at lease 4 deg with a wind.

    I don't know the exact science but I would get a clothes horse or a dryer,
