Thanks everyone for the information. I'll check it out.

BTW, I did do the inside plastic thing. It helped, but the cold still pours through. Of course, I might just be super senstive. After being in the desert for almost 35 years, Arkansas is COLD! :0)

Low-E glass really works, I just read somewhere that someone is selling it in sheets that can be attached to your current glass but I have never seen it. The only way to get Low-E or Thermal glass is to buy new insulated windows (dual glazed with the Low-E sandwiched in the middle).

I think the problem is that desert dwellers get used to the radiant heat always coming through the walls in the winter. We heated our entire house last winter with one ceramic heater in the bedroom. There is nothing more comfortable than that radiant heat.

When we travel in the summer to the Midwest and Arkansas now, we feel like we are suffocating in the humidity. The desert has ruined us for other climates.
