An interesting experiment. The Seasonal Affective Disorder is usually tied to the amount of sunlight, not to temperatures. But exposure to cold should rev up your metabolism noticeably.

I do somewhat similar things, but I alternate between hot and cold. The ideal situation is a sauna on the shore of an almost-frozen lake, but that's not always easy to arrange :-)

That's a narrow ideal you've set. Make a hole in the ice, or bathe in the snow.
