Casement window keeps freezing

[Twister]

With the humidity I get ice that forms on the bottom of the window and its hard to open, I don't want to break the crank. Will spraying WD40 around the edge help or maybe silicon? I can hear the ice breaking when I crank.

WD40 will freeze. It's one of the worse lubricants to use in winter.

Your house appears to be too tight. Suggest you lower the humidity.

You probably have a curtain in front of you window keeping air from circulating creating a cold pocket of air. Make sure that the room. If there is air circulation on your window you will have less ice build up.

Maybe try a small humidifier beside your bed. That's what I do.

Thanks i have one, I'm sure the hair dryer will work, I just hoped there was a spray (one time deal)

65 percent is insanely high for this temperature.

Should be about 35 to 40 max. You will have all kinds of moisture problems at that level.

There are charts on line.

The problem is that at 35-40% your house will feel dry. Bit of a catch 22

Sweetheart, if I could sleep with you, it would always be hot and steamy in bed.
