OOPS! before I edited this I said "I don't know where you live", and I just noticed it's New Orleans. You're forgiven. I've heard that you only have two seasons there, summer and February.
Anyhow, if you ever get one, try your hand experiment on a cold day. I'm in Toronto, and on a cold winter's day I can stick my hand out of the sleeve of my thick parka and feel some warmth on the the sunlit side.
The rest of me is still frozen stiff.
The best way I've found to beat it (other than the two day drive to Florida) is to consume a warm mixture of fermented, distilled grain with some carbohydrates and fats. Irish coffee. Let's see if NASA will include that in the next emergency ration kit.
