Al, do people up there put plastic over their windows to reduce draft?
I never heard of that until I moved here. Inserts are a more sturdy option than putting tape around your frame, putting plastic on it, then blow drying it. You build a wood frame that fits inside your window. You put heavy plastic on both sides of it, then finish it with foam around the edges so you can stick it in your window. It comes out in spring.
It's better for the environment, it's a reusable product, and it really helps with heat retention. http://windowdressers.org/window-insulating-inserts/

Maybe some T-storms later? Hope so!
