stupid cold wintery places

[juldea]

I just learned about storm windows.

I've lived in Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Hawaii in my life! None of those places (or at least where I lived in them) had the need for a strange mixture of two windows.

Maybe now our heating bill will go down...

Storm doors are doors that replace the screen door so when you open your main door the cold air doesnt go right through the screen door and freeze you. Some doors, like the ones I have, come with screen sections that you can replace with a big glass pane, thus becoming a storm door.

Oh. Screen doors with glass instead of screen. I never had a name for them, but I know what they are. "Outer door" maybe. Those exist everywhere.

They're available everywhere but in cold areas they actually serve a purpose ;D

In New England the storm door does the same thing as a storm window, adds a layer of air as insulation between your house and the cold.
