How cold does it get there? Below freezing?

It does get to below freezing, but the daytime temperatures usually get
above freezing.
The conditions that I am thinking of have a nightime temp of -4C and a
daytime max of about 6C. We scrub the decks with a stiff brush to remove
the ice/frost before we set sail. These days are absolutely wonderful...
the sense of desolation is amazing.
