Arrrrrrrr

I kind of wish I knew how snow is getting in my bedroom window, but it seems to be pretty mysterious, apart from the general principle that my apartment is about as airtight as a screen door.

I actually have a theory or two, but they seem to violate physics.

A strategically placed towel will, I hope, prevent any additional snow from getting blown onto me as I sleep. I guess I should add 'talk to landlord about windows' to my list of things to do tomorrow.

Now, I have no idea what this stuff is called in English, or if you can even find it locally, but you need to get some of this:

It's a roll of rubbery insulation material, with a P-shapped crossection (thus the name), and an adhesive back. You just stick it around the edges of the window, placed so that the bulge of it gets flattened when you close the window, and no more snow inside the house.
