A pretty chilly draft is coming in under my kitchen door. Although this is the only door in the house without a door sweep, the door is weatherstripped and has a recently installed storm door outside.
I do want to install a door sweep in the future, but since I just moved in, I bought a door snake as a temporary measure to stop the draft. Unfortunately, it seems to do very little. There's still a lot of air coming in around the snake, even though it completely covers the bottom of the door.
Are there any other quick and easy ways of fixing a draft? It's strange to me that the storm door isn't more effective at keeping air out.

You might try one of these, if it could fit. They're pretty cheap as well and basically like a double sided "door snake".
Does the storm door itself have a sweep along the bottom? We bought an old house recently that has original doors to the outside. The storm door that the past owners installed works great as it has a sweep that 'scrapes' along the concrete outside until it seals in. If it's open the wind just blows around every crack of the door, but when it's closed you can't really feel anything.
