Always get a laugh out of something here!....when I was growing up in England we called them draft stoppers...but here in Australia they are often called "door snakes". I made one for one of our doors, stuffed it with clean sawdust, that way it's heavy enough to stay put, and if not overfilled you can kind of manoevre it around a bit for the perfect fit.

What if my window panes suck to begin with and let in the cold all around? :D
