today you will wish you had a water tank. The supply hose is going to freeze unless you can keep the water moving. You need to watch some of @Mark Saiger videos on cold weather cleaning.

It's cold here....again....LOL

But we do have fresh water tanks and direct drives that run with doors closed...and we of course do cleaning a lot of days in cold so set up for it.

Just keep water moving...even just a trickle will help.

Try to not have a big wind whipping over connectors or crevices that can get more velocity of cold air on say metal fittings.

I know some have to keep things open for air cooled motors...but still block cold air from whipping over certain areas that could freeze.

And best wishes out there....

Think warm thoughts!

Is there a way to warm up or insulate the feed hose so the above does not happen as easily?
Yes, go to HD, and get a bunch of foam pipe insulation. They come in 6’ lengths, and they are like 2$ a piece.... I run them on all big commercial jobs I do in the winter.... and I work in weather down to O F, to minus 5- minus 10..... easy peasy.....
