Flight deck requested two flights attendants to remain in the forward galley with a cart out while the flight deck door remained open for almost 2 hours during the flight due to extremely low temperature in the flight deck. Flight attendants did agree that temperature was very low and complied with flight deck request; but after the flight agreed that the situation was very unsafe and could have created a dangerous situation.[Suggest] divert flight. If the pilots were really that uncomfortable by the low temperature that they were willing to jeopardize safety; then the flight should have been diverted and the problem fixed or the plane grounded.
Flight Attendant reported the cockpit door remained open for about two hours in flight at the request of the flight crew because of the very low temperature in the cockpit.
