I promise if you stand in the cold for 16 hours over the weekend you will feel under the weather for a few days.

0:10 pretty much sums up the answer...
If going from a warm place into a cold place will make you "catch your death of cold", then why dont arctic dippers catch their death of cold everytime they perform their sport?

I just got a job and have to work outside. I called in sick 3 times already, it’s not looking good but I got to try something to combat it. Sink or swim mentality. I got hand warmers from Walmart and have slid them into a mask, hoping this hot air I breath in will work.
