Man, my house needs sealed better, or maybe it's just finally time to bite the bullet and move. My rent's cheap, house is shit, landlords mostly forget we exist but there aren't tons of problems normally...except when windchill hits and gets in the negatives, then my kitchen is a whole different climate than the rest of the house and I know it's costing me in heating

I don't know if you've tried this, but I bought some rope caulk for 7 bucks and used it to seal around my windows. It makes a world of difference if the windows aren't sealing great. You can take it off in the summer when you want to open them up.
