Thankfully I didn't put hot water on it. If there's one thing I can learn from oregon Trail, it's not to quickly warm frostbite. (Or rub snow on it, but who actually does that in real life anyways?)
I think I only got frostnip (Stage 1 Frostbite) on my left hand (I lost my glove) and I think on my face, because it was also starting to go numb from the cold. I'm not getting any blisters but I think there's some skin damage. D:

Yup, frostbite sucks. Fun fact*: after heart disease, frostbite is still the leading cause of death in Canada.

I dunno, Ace, the death of Canadians seems like a fun thing to me.

As memory serves, you're supposed to put cold water on frostnip, right?

Lukewarm or slightly cool, because if you put hot water on it, you damage it more.

Right. That's why I emphasized the not-hot nature of the water.

Yeah, watch yourself in the snow guys. Always carry extra blankets when you drive in the winter, and emergency heat packs are great.
