It's supposed to be 72 here in Pensacola today. We're going to the beach with the kids later today for some fun and relaxation. My brain is going to thaw out! Sheesh, I am going to be normal again! If only for a week. [lol]

As for insulation the snow does do a damn good job. My garage faces directly north as does the front of my house. The garage gets the brunt of the NW blizzards and high winds and my garage is gas heated so its a nice buffer. I pay about $260/month to heat my garage at 60 degrees along with the rest of the house.
When I had the house built in 2003 I insisted on the spray-in foam insulation. It cost a lot more but certainly worth it. The walls and attic are all foam and I added a layer of fiberglass insulation on top of the foam in the attic of the garage. My basement has fiberglass insulation however being underground helps. Its actually warmer in the basement in the winter than the upstairs. And along the base of the house where the foundation meets the part of the house exposed to air, I have the sticky spray foam insulating from the inside. This insulation is sprayed into that crawl space between the upper walls of the basement and the joists. This helps greatly to keep wind chills out and it seals off the basement from crickets and spiders.
