Do You Need to Take a Cold Shower?

I have built a sauna into the last three houses we've owned. Would not be without one.

Had a sauna and used to go outside and jump into a snowdrift. The heat would create a coating of vapour between my body and the snow. Once the heat was gone so was I.

Here is the tropics, I wind down the heat in the shower to aid in my cooldown cycle.

There was a wonderful video I saw once of a scientist in Antarctica using the outdoor sauna in the winter. He stepped out of the sauna at about minus 30 degrees and stood still. He was covered in sweat, and the moisture from his skin rose up as water vapor for about 10 feet, then turned into snowflakes and fell back down on him like a shower.

Depends on the HOA. The HOA where I live could hold their own annual meeting in Hawaii every year at home owner's expense as long as they don't ask the owners to put much effort into anything.

LOL! Sounds appealing, but I'm pretty sure our association couldn't afford that.
