Is the water really that cold (or warm)?

Bonaire WebCams - FAQ
Probably (this is in reference to the underwater temperature readings we provide on the ReefCam pages). The underwater temperature probe we use is reasonably accurate, but we've found that water temperatures in the shallows can vary by several degrees Fahrenheit. Use the number as a relative measure and you'll be fine. Water temperatures at diving depths on Bonaire range from about 77 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit.

Wind is the biggest factor in water temperature. When the wind blows from the ocean towards the land, it blows water that has been warmed by the sun towards the beach. When the wind blows from the land towards the ocean, that warm water is push out to sea, and the cold water from underneath rises to take its place at the shore. The warm water is clear because its on the surface, while the cold water that was on the bottom is full of sediment and is a murky brown.

If hot water is so bad for hair, is cold water really good?

longhair: FAQ, take 1
Cool water is really good for your hair. Super cold water can cause damage to the capillaries in your scalp, which is not good. Yeah, that happens. Be more considerate about where you brush your hair, dispose of dead hair in wastebaskets (or outside for birds' nests), and watch the roller in your vacuum to keep it free of hairs that can tangle and break it. And consider getting rid of your carpet ? it's a formaldehyde-ridden allergen trap anyway.

What temperatures are too warm or too cold for the dogs?

Iditarod Race Information and Updates--Ultimate Iditarod
Sled dogs are amazingly adapted to living and performing in cold climates. They have a thick layer of outer guard hairs that protect against wind and water, and then a dense inner layer of fur similar to wool that acts as insulation. This insulating layer is shed out every summer and then re-grown at the start of winter. In fact, some people spin sled dog fur into yarn and makes hats, pillows, and other items that are extremely soft and warm.

Do I really have to do the warm up?

Penis enlargement FAQ
Yes. We highly recommend that you do the warm up each time you workout. The procedure should not be considered optional as it serves several important purposes.

Secondly, the hot wraps serve to increase penile blood circulation which is very beneficial for virtually all of these exercises.
