It's either 34 or 38, depending which weather station i look at.
Supposed to get back to 70 tomorrow. whew!

Nope, we're not warm either. We were in the 50's yesterday, so after work i tracked down cool breezes that were coming in around windows and got most of them sealed for the winter. oh joy. (of course, single pained windows don't provide a whole lot of insulation....but I do what i can)
Yes, we do 
Someday i'd like to get the windows replaced (and some need it), but it's not that simple. Since the house is >100 years old, the windows aren't exactly standard. The 36" windows range from 35.5"- 37".
I have thick curtains that i close when it's going to be cold.

Yep, but it still means fixing the openings. I'm saving up to be able to do it, and a few other things. it's gonna be awhile.
the moment i remember the name of the company i'll post it. if not remind me!
i was pleasantly surprised how small the upcharge was for custom sizes!
one caveat - get quotes from several dealers

Yep, several dealers is important. I dunno if it's as bad further north, but many of the companies here assume that a mere female can't understand construction and repair stuff, and try to take advantage if they're not dealing with a guy.
thanks, google, for refreshing my memory!

ces, if it doesn't have to be wood check your local vinyl window companies. i found one here that manufactures their own windows and used them for custom sizes in some rental properties.

Thanks Tibs. It doesn't have to be wood. My house is old, but not listed as historic
all you gotta do is set them straight from the start!
btw i got the aluminum-clad wood - a cinch to keep clean on the outside, everything wipes right off. a big plus when you deal with a climate that is famous for producing mildew!

no historic site here either but plenty of wood trim. i needed stainable windows
