They're not as big as most of the other windows in the house, but they are basically blowing cold air into the kitchen. I didn't realize there was that much air coming through. The storm windows will probably also help in the summer to keep the hot air out.

The problem with the front door is the draft is coming in from the bottom (mostly) and there is already one of those screw-on sweeper things which is worn down and not working. I will look into doing something more permanent about the windows, but that will have to wait until Spring (or at least February or March), cause there ain't no way I'm doing it right now.

(Not caulking them CLOSED but sometimes the frame comes apart letting drafts in.) http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/he_weather_sealing/article/0,,diy_13897_2277540,00.html I spent some time in high school eons ago helping low income people put up the window plastic and learned a few tricks.
