10. Instead of ducttape
try to find gaffers tape.
Gaffers tape is used in the entertainment industry by set builders.It looks like ducttape but is much,much stronger.

Here is an idea that might provide a little heat.On south facing windows use black plastic and leave a two or three inch gap at the top and bottom.
The black plastic sheeting will hopefully retain heat.The heat will draw cold air in thru the bottom.As it rises it will warm the air and return it to the room thru the top gap.
In theory it should work.Actual mileage may vary.
