Ah, winter

A couple months ago, we replaced the aging windows in our guest room/my office with nice new energy efficient ones, and it's already made a big difference in the comfort level in that room. (It still gets a bit chilly on cold nights, but there's only so much we can accomplish with a room that's essentially a converted attic.)

Now I just need to get someone to replace the nice big window in my office on campus: it's freezing in here when the cold just rolls down from the glass and across the desk into my lap. (The aluminum window frames presumably don't help. What crazy person uses highly conductive metal window frames in a cold climate?) Time for me to put on a coat...
