Our bathroom has a ceiling fan/light combination that lets in one hell of
a draft. During our saga about the leaking bathroom roof (resolved, it
seems, finally), I got a look at the construction, and the exhaust fan
shunts the air through something that looks a bit like a dryer hose, to a
circular exterior port on the house. That port is hooded, and there is
some kind of apparently useless circular "flap" that does very little to
keep cold (!!! it was 20 below last night) air out of the bathroom.

If you wizards can suggest a way to solve this, other than only showering
in the summer, I would be eternally grateful.

If its that cold, I would duct tape the fan off until it gets warmer.

On my new fan the damper could be installed reverse so it lets outside air
in but won't allow exhaust. See if that's not your case.
