Cooling-off time in Russia (by M. Krestovnikoff, DIVER, July 2004)

Russians have only two words for cold or, at least, that's what I was told. I don't think that's enough. If you're diving beneath the ice for any length of time, you start to distinguish between the different sensations produced by the low temperatures. There's the painful cold you feel when you first put your face in the icy water, like pin-pricks all over your bare, exposed skin; there's the numbness when you've been immersed for 40 minutes and can't feel your hands and feet; there's the bitter chill from the wind when you're outside in 10°C in the wind and snow tending a rope that disappears into the ice; and there's the deep-down cold in your bones when you can't get dry or warm after a dive, your body starts to shut down and all you want to do is sleep. Am I painting an attractive picture?
