My fingers don't mind the cold, they in fact go RED to increase blood to
them to prevent frostbite.

How can that be!? Your blood reduces flow to your extremities when very
cold, to protect your vital organs.


Your fingers and toes are more important. Your "vital organs" are inside you and much warmer anyway. Try shoving just your hand in a tub of cold water right now. Leave it in there for a while, your hand will go red. That's MORE blood to protect it.
