I've had a ton of snow leak in the bottom before. :mad:
This year I ended up putting a thick foam sheet in the doorway outside, so now I can't even open it.
I hate ohio.
I fucking love every aspect of winter. The bitter cold and numbing snow are almost physical poetry. Even the sucky things, like shoveling the driveway and cleaning my mom's windshield. I fucking love winter.
What? What on earth is putting plastic on your windows supposed to accomplish?Quote:

I haven't tried the plastic on windows thing myself. I wasn't sure if it was something that really worked or not - but I may try it this year. There are certain windows where you can actualy FEEL the draft slipping through. One of them is right beside my bed. :/
Do you guys not have double glazing over there??
And I love the winter!!!! Cant wait till next week when I'll be in Austria in minus 15 temperatures enjoying the snow :D
Jeff, it seals out drafts and cold from coming through the window ( http://www.amazon.com/Henkel-00-0912..._sv_edpp_pop_t )Quote:

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the draft from the window by my bed is coming from behind the window appron - I'll be needing to caulk that up.
There is, but when you live in a house that was built in 1904 and don't have the money to get new windows, you make due with what you have.Quote:

It's times like these I'm glad I live in the south. We only get snow every 6 - 7 years!! xD
I like winter, I just wish I had better cold tolerance. My bed has a wool blanket, a knit blanket and two huge comforters on it, yet I still slept in long underwear last night.
Maybe I just need a bedwarmer... :ohyahbaby:
Me and Tornado Joe live in the good old CLEVELAND, OHIO.Quote:

Just to let you know, it's 12*F here, with wind chill.
Cleveland's pretty large...
Yea, but in such close proximity, you'd think that something would have been initiated.
Hey, I live in Wapakoneta. It's like, wtf is that? There's about a 10k population, at most. I have to drive to Lima or St Marys in order to find something to do. At least tornadoes never touch down in Wapak.Quote:

We have a lot of DV'ers from Ohio.
I love winter. I love snow as well, it's really pretty in this mountainous area where I live..
Actually, Me and TJ only live about 40 minutes from each other.
Me and Howie live 15 minutes away from each other.
Party together
