As the seasons change the jet stream and the flow of air currents change direction Our weather in New York at this time of year comes from Canada and Arctic bring us some cold winters. Last winter 2011-2012 was mild.

Because the Earth is tilted, New York and other locations in the northern hemisphere receive the sun's rays at a more oblique angle, resulting in less energy (heat) striking the surface for area unit.

How the skin loses the heat?

Evaporation When liquids change state to vapor they absorb heat, it's called "heat of vaporization". Put water on your arm then blow on it; it should feel colder when air is moving across the water. The evaporating water absorbs heat as it changes state, making the surface colder. So... when you sweat, the surface of your skin gets colder and your body disspate heat by opening your circulation closer to the surface of the skin.
