Is it safe to take a hot shower after being exposed to extremely low temperatures?

I loved to use my finish sauna in winter. After 15–20min in the sauna at 180F, I went outside and rubbed my body with snow. Then I had a shower with cold water (45F), and it felt warm, crazy?. Then I wrapped myself in towels and my body felt like in heaven.
As a teenager, I dropped through broken ice into ice-cold water and had to walk home a mile at -10F. All the joints of my clothes were broken because they started to freeze, and the movements made them brake. At home, my mom undressed me and rubbed my entire body with snow and afterwards covered me in blankets. This grandma style wisdom has saved my life!
It is wrong, you should take a cold shower instead!
Why are most girls not open to the idea of anal sex?
Bottom line, and it may sound weird, if you are cold and freezing, take a cold shower. If you are hot, don’t drink ice-cold drinks (as most Americans do), drink a hot tee. Your body reacts on temperature signals to counteract. If your body feels cold, your body turns the heat on, if your skin feels hot water, your body starts the cooling function by making you sweat - the opposite you want to achieve and at the and your body is confused.
What is the lesson learned: Cold water, snow etc., turns on the heating reaction of your body. In contrast, a hot shower will cause your body turn on the cooling mode and make you sweat instead.
