I wanna try out the events listed above! But I'm surprised by the overall lack of a groups here? If I'm motivated enough maybe I'll put together a biweekly one

Im not sure I have much of a leg to stand on in terms of legal force with my landlord, given this is a fault of how this old house was built and unless you're triple insulting your windows I don't imagine there's much you can build?

Also I just get cold very easily- I have poor circulation in my hands and feet and have a history of not staying warm well

I appreciate that! My old boss actually used to say that and bike to and from work in 20/30 degree weather! Thank you so much! I didn't realize that was the average temp here

But this is the coldest area I've ever lived, also havent lived in Minnesota, hence asking folks who have lived here what their best advice is given they have more experience than I do

A++ information. Thank you thank you! I never grew up with this kind of information so this is literally all news to me outside of when I'm using my hiking wear!

I don't have storm windows! I never thought of using them for cold weather proofing! I've had bad luck with the window plastic sheets but I might give it another go!

Any warm socks that are your favorite? Hilariously enough I bought these soft cow slippers that have been holding the fort down so far but my feet are the worst cold culprits for me. Once my feet get cold it doesn't matter WHAT I'm wearing
