It's certainly working with regards to my ability to tolerate cold baths and showers. It's too early to tell how it has influenced my mood towards the winter.

Does it make you feel less cold in general? I'm considering doing cold showers, but I'd like to know if the discomfort is worth it.

Purely anecdotal, but since I started taking cold showers, ~20 degrees C has gone from being switch to warm clothing territory, to fine in a t-shirt instead.

I think so, but it's hard to be sure in part because the winter hasn't yet brought really cold temperatures to my area.
