I live in an area with -30 Celsius sometimes (once or twice in my life, haha, but -20 would work too), with sliding windows there'd be ice inside.

How would sliding windows change that

There isn't a space where an icicle can grow, but you can't reach it. If an icicle is inside a sliding window there is a high chance you can't reach it. Tilting windows also (mostly) prevent the rain from being blown inside the room.

Inside a window? They're vertical? Also sliding windows are the best at keeping rain out.
