Gee, I wonder why this occurred to me at the dump today...
"Quick Summary: Cold temperatures trigger vasoconstriction, stiffen muscles, and heighten nerve sensitivity. These physiological changes intensify pain perception, making impacts feel significantly more painful in cold weather than in warmer conditions." Get that? Significantly.
It's actually a fairly detailed article. Of course it annoyingly recommends mindfulness and reducing stress, but most of the rest seems based on medicine rather than fashion. And taking a moment to exhale gives perspective anyway.
I did like the advice in the sub-question about what one can do to minimise pain from cold weather. Get warm.
The internet can be a wonderful thing.

You can conceivably be mindful and do whatever your preferred destressing thing is (hopping around cursing is popular) immediately, while applying a heating pad and popping a pain-killer could take longer. Of course, you can do both.
