What is that you might ask.....
That is the 1/8" of ice that is currently coating the inside of my shop's front windows. As you can imagine even with the heater going pretty much non stop it's hard to contend with a 128 square feet of ice. I wish my landlord paid my heating bills here. Then maybe I'd have some leverage to get double pane windows in here.
In the mean time I'm here curled up in several afghans and in my scarf & hat. Pass me the hot coco please....

Wow, great Landlord. Treats you like a peasant from the the 1600's!! Call and have the Lord come over and see the ice!
Hope you sold lots at your show!

Yikes! On an unrelated note, I enjoyed checking out all of your "stuff" at Knit Michigan!

When we lived in extreme cold climes, we got heavyweight plastic that snapped into channels around the windows and then was tightened with a hairdryer. (1) It's preventive work, i.e., not when you've already got that thick coat of ice (which maybe is some insulation from what's outside?), (2) it's not cheap, but was by no means prohibitive (paid back on heat savings fast, like within a month or two), and (3) if the windows open and you want them to do so, it has to come down in the summer. The channels were reusable from year to year. We got more plastic to replace what we took down for the warm months. *It helped.* And might be a good thing for next year.
