Depending on the condition and materials on the outside of the
house/window frames, I've been known to buy a roll of screening, cut it
to the appropriate sizes, and staple it over the exterior of the
windows. It's not a great fix, but it is a fast, easy, effective one
and looks okay if you do it neatly (better than duct tape, IMHO).
Sometimes you can get away with just doing a few "critical" windows
(e.g., to provide cross-ventilation).

Meehan and Lucy, I'll check for it locally and see if that will work
for me. The link that was provided didn't really clarify what it was,
but it's not like this is some rush job that has to get done so I can
certainly mosey over to the hardware store and look.

These aren't the kind I remember. The older ones consisted of two parts
in wood frames that expanded and contracted to fit the opening and were
about a foot or so tall, maybe 18 in which doesn't let a whole lot of
fresh air in but better than a shut window. I would think you might be
able to find some at a goodwill store; they probably have them at
hardware stores.

The ones at the link are kind of pricey for a temp fix imo.
