Hi,
brommom and WillCreed how about posting the plant list and the location here? I think many others in the same position as you could have the same plants to bring in for winter.

Most of those plants on your list will survive the winter in a north window, but don't expect them to fluorish. Of those plants the best candidates for a north window are:
sanseveria, peperomia, rubber tree, spider plant, staghorn, bromeliads and jade. Be careful to protect them from cold drafts and be sure not to overwater.
