Wow, that is scary and you are in GA
our windows are a great source of heat loss as well. We live on a lake with a north facing and the back of our house is mostly windows and they are big ones some are all most ceiling to floor. You can almost feel a breeze when you walk by them. Lots of people think I should put heavy window coverings on them for the winter, but I don't want holes in the pretty woodwork that surrounds the windows. Plus it would sort of defeat the purpose of having the windows to enjoy the view, so I just grin and bear it knowing that for three months our heating bill will be quite high
