MOSTLY COLD AIR LEAKS BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND FRAME.

There are Winter window insulation kits that basically cover your entire window and frame in plastic film. There are versions that you use a hairdryer to shrink fit the plastic and it is clear like glass.

caulking helps.. for inside i like to use the the stuff that looks like a clay ribbon it comes in a box not a cartridge. stuff it in or over where you feel the cold air or feel a crack next to the window frame. if you put a strand of it completely around the window.. since its a bit on the tacky side..the shrink wrap will kinda stick to it. makes it a bit easier to position the film correctly.. I"ve had issues with the 2 sided tape that comes with the widow film kit. it's peeled paint off the wall when i needed the film removed. low tac painters tape is what I've got holding the film in place.
