Heat is generated in the torso. While working in a cold Operating Room, the nurses taught me to wrap a warmed-up blanket around my torso. The heat is spread to the rest of the body through pumping blood. Works like a charm

I feel the opposite. If my feet are cold, my whole body is cold. I could go out and get my car started with shorts and a t shirt if I was wearing warm socks and not feel the effects of the cold for a good while. However, the moment my feet are cold my entire body feels like it's freezing.

Hands, feet, head for me.

The core is the last place heat leaves.

I agree. If everyone went around naked then the core would probably be the main place heat leaves. But, since the torso is really easy to have insulated at all times the extremities usually feel more cold.

Me too. My husband got me some sheepskin slippers and they have changed my winter experience completely! I used to just wear wool socks but it wasn't even close to keeping me warm. The slippers (without socks) do the trick.

For me, my feet are usually the only part of me that feels cold. But I hate having socks on. So it's a pick-your-poison situation.

Bonus tips, your head radiates that transfered heart like crazy, if you don't have somewhat thick hair consider a hat

In a pinch tucking your shirt in helps keep the heat in by a few degrees, it ain't a myth
