I will give this through today and give the west coast time to wake up!

You shut the left window just before the picture was taken?

What is below the "middle" window? The left does look like a reflection.

My guess is that both windows have a seal problem on the bottom sash and the left window is unlocked.

So we have a cold exterior, with a warm air vent immediately below. Warm air is being directed up towards the window surfaces. The cold areas are areas that are protected from the warm air flow by the window sills and the sashes. The window on the right does not appear as affected on the upper pane because it is not immediately above the register. Although the fan shape flow that the register creates is clearly evident on the bottom pane of the right window and as well the left window. The bottom pane of the left window shows a slower moving heat flow in its center because if you look at a register vent, the part in the center is blocked from direct upward flow. The left side also contains a reflection of the thermographer I believe.

Close?
