Why are rivers cold in the summer and warm in the winter?

part of it is perception and part seasonal. As the temperature warms snow at the higher altitude begins to melt and flow into rivers and causes the rivers to be colder. When fall and winter come about the snow has all melted and the river has been heated by the sun making it warmer. Now for the perception part. As you are standing on the bank in the heat of summer the water feels cool and refreshing to your heated skin. In the winter your body feels colder so the temperature difference doesn't feel as extreme to your sense of touch making the water seem warmer than you remembered it being in the summer.
