Acclimatation

Canadian here , why is it that at the beginning of winter I can barely be outside without shivering intensely but by the end of winter I can handle it. What is actually happening to my body to create this acclimation?

Over time our bodies are able to adjust to the world around us, it is a fairly slow process taking weeks or months, but as the body detects the changes in environment it changes the hormonal balance in the body, which then changes how our bodies process energy. Your blood “thickens” (it doesn’t actually but the way you circulate blood does change)
