It was so cold here this evening (-11) that the hot tub cover was frozen shut over the tub. And when I did get it open & got in it, We had to wear stocking caps so our ears wouldn't freeze!
Bentley:
You are the man to ask, thinking about a hot tub, Jacuzzi, spa, whatever...you are way colder then us....how much electricity $$$ does it add to your bill in the winter? We just can't see to get any muscle relief after working in woods or just on the property, and hope this might be the trick...

Bentley, do you think you could tolerate cold water immersion? Several studies have shown ~20% pain reduction by immersing up to the neck in 50°F to 60°F water for about 20 minutes. As a test you could get your instant read thermometer and make a small batch of water at that temperature and stick your hand in it for a while.
In most studies the participants sat in the water the entire time, but in some they were allowed to step out several times.
