Why do freezers feel colder when it’s cold outside?

242 views

This might not be a relatable question to anyone who doesn’t work in food service or otherwise have regular access to large walk-in freezers. When the air temperature outside is warm (or even in commercial kitchens, hot) going into the walki-in cooler or freezer can be a refreshing respite from the heat. But when the seasons shift and the air temps start to get colder, it feels like the same walk-ins are almost bitingly cold. Why does it feel colder in there when I’m already cold than when I’m hot?

your body actually creates a layer of hot air around itself. When you are in a hot environment and you walk in it takes a minute for this layer of air to be cooled down. When you leave an already cold environment and walk in this layer is cooled much faster.
