By definition, water is liquid -- although most of Antarctica is frozen -- and a human could survive in water temperature from 28 to 32 degrees F anywhere on earth for only a few minutes.
According to USSARTF, "Normal body temperature of course, is 98.6. Shivering and the sensation of cold can begin when the body temperature lowers to approximately 96.5. Amnesia can begin to set in at approximately 94, unconsciousness at 86 and death at approximately 79 degrees."
They estimate that a human would survive less than one hour in 32 degree F waters.
