I fill my bathtub with cold water, add 40 pounds of ice, and stay in until the ice melts. (Don't try this yourself until you have built up cold resistance by first taking cold showers, then cold water baths, and then cold baths with a little bit of ice.)
As I age the winters are becoming less pleasant and this is in part an attempt to alter my winter set point happiness.
That is pretty brutal! I know a lot of athletes do cold or contrast baths (ie cold, hot, cold, etc.) to aid in recovering from intense workouts. It wouldn't surprise me if this had other benefits than just temperature acclimation.
