OT - They are double pane windows, but that is not where the water is. It comes through the screened half of the sliding window and accumulates in the metal groove that is the track for the sliding portion of the window. I'm not convinced there is a problem unless or until it spills on to the window sill. Already the water level seems to have gone down in the lull in the rain since my last post, so they appear to be self-bailing to some extent. Glad I don't need to use a bilge pump. <g>

I remember when I grew up (near NY City) we always had a set of screen windows and storm windows and would change them every winter and summer. I guess that double pane windows have made that practice obsolete.

Rain gutters are another story. I have cleaned out the lower roof gutters reaching them with a ladder, but the upper ones are impossible to reach without going up there.
