Any type of this type of work? Spray foam? Blown insulation etc.

Have bay windows built over or on block foundation that is constantly drafty with cold air. Hard to explain,  but with cold weather the front of house is 10 degrees colder in the winter

How old is the window ? You can take molding off and insulate around frame of window. or spray  foam . Dont make to tight . Not sure that will help that much . Insulated drapes will help some . If you can get under insulate each bay on ends especially .Basement . spray foam inside the block if not capped . Lose so much energy through older windows and doors.

They also make that plastic that you put over the inside of window  and hit with blow dry to tighten. frost king makes it . Window inserts makes a kit like a storm window, not sure for a bay .

Ty for advice.   The house is 26 yr old, I'm the orginal owner.  Bay windows are built over a concrete block void that probably goes down to footing. I'll try to take pictures.  Anywhere close to the floor over this void is ice cold. Granted the widows are orginal,  they have drafts also.

Most likely the bay wasn’t insulated on the underside. You need to remove siding/sheathing to gain access then put regular fiberglass insulation. Foam won’t give you the desired affect. Most common flaw when installing a bay window. It’s not an easy task to accomplish but anything short of doing it right will be a waste of time/money/effort
