When you touch ice, it conducts heat away from your hand. This causes the temperature of your hand to drop, resulting in the sensation of coldness. Ice has a lower temperature than your body, so heat is transferred from your hand to the ice, making your hand feel cold.

How your hands will feel when you place them in the container of room temperature water?
Body temperature is regulated by an intricate system called homeostasis. If the external (outside) temperature is hotter or colder than our body then various things come into play to maintain our body heat. If you put your hand into room temperature water (room temperature is generally accepted to be 20 degrees C) then it will feel cold, because body temp is about 37 degrees C. The water will absorb heat energy from your hand, making it feel cold, until the temperature of the water and the temperature of your hand are the same. Or until you decide that shoving your hand in cool water is pointless...If you put your hand into water that is at 37 degrees C then you won't notice any temperature difference. It just feels wet. It's really weird, try it!
