This would be a good time to tell me something good.

If it could be something forward-looking and good, that would be even better.

Does it get them actually dry?

The times I've frozen clothes on the clothes line, generally by mistake but sometimes through excess optimism, they've come in like stiff ghost clothes and still been damp when they thawed. What am I doing wrong?

It needs to be 10 degrees F or below and very low humidity, preferably with a nasty wind chill *GRIN*. I do only my sheets, tablecloths, dress shirts, things with high cotton or linen content. Flannel usually doesn't get totally dry unless you put it up one morning and take it in the next, but cotton sheets? They only take a few hours especially if you take them out just slightly warm still from the washer. Shirts take a couple hours more, but generally dry quite well. Sometimes you get a bit of a white "scum" on them that brushes off - that's precipitates from soap and other stuff that gets brought to the surface when it freezes.

They really do freeze dry! My sheets have been out only a couple of hours now and they are already drifting in the wind - meaning the ice has gone out of them already and they are nearly dry. You know it's good when you start to hang them and they are solid by the time you put on the close pegs!
