From the page: "Physiological differences among individuals are responsible for some people feeling the cold faster than others, even when exposed to the same combination of wind and temperature. One such difference is surface areaâ€"the less surface area you have in relation to your mass, the less heat you will lose. That means that people who are tall and thin tend to feel the cold sooner than those who are short and stocky. Over thousands of years, the facial features of people living in the Arctic have also developed specially to retain heat. "
