Synthetic fabrics contribute to static electricity along with the lack of humidity in sub-freezing temperatures. Shouldn't be wearing those leisure suits in the winter anyway.......

Any decent way to stop my valve from leaking? Had a shop replace the valve but it didn't help. They said it looks like the rim is rusted out around it which is killing the seal. Reputable shop. Replace the rim? Any kind of sealant that may work?

Valve core or the whole stem? I've had some luck with Slime (green snot in a clear bottle), but if your rim is that rusty I'd replace it.

Can try Slime as a temporary fix.
