If you stick a metal rod in snowbank. the end in your hand soon becomes cold. Does cold flow the snow to your hand?
No, cold does not flow from the snow to your hand. When you touch the metal rod, heat from your hand is transferred to the metal, which conducts heat away from your hand into the colder snow. Your hand begins to feel cold as it loses heat.
Why is it that when you put the left in cold water and the right hand in hot water and take both out and put them normal water why does the left hand feel hot and the right feel cold?
This is due to the phenomenon known as contrast effect. When you first put your hands in cold and hot water, your nerves respond to the extreme temperatures. When you move them to the lukewarm water, the hand that was in the cold water will perceive the water as hot because of the contrast in temperatures.
When you dip your hand in cold water you can feel it cold name the mode of heat transfer and direction?
The mode of heat transfer is conduction, where heat transmits from the warmer hand to the colder water molecules.
When you dip your hand in cold water you feel it cold can you name mode of heat transfer and its direction?
When you dip your hand in cold water you feel it cold. Can you name the mode of heat transfer and its direction?

Because the ice lolly is making you feel cold x
Why do you feel cold when you hold a piece of ice in your hand?
Because of the flow of heat from your hand to the ice.

What do you get when there is a hole in your mitten?
A "cold hand" - because a hole in your mitten would let in the cold air and cause your hand to feel chilly.
Why is ethanol cold?
Ethanol feels cold when applied to the skin because it evaporates quickly, absorbing heat from the skin in the process. This rapid evaporation leads to a cooling sensation on the skin, similar to how rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer may feel cold upon application.
Explain why does a soda can feel cold in your hand when you take it out of the refrigerator?
When you take a soda can out of the refrigerator, it feels cold because it's at a lower temperature than your hand. As the can's surface comes in contact with your warmer skin, heat from your hand is transferred to the can through conduction, making it feel cold to the touch.

Why does your hand feel cold when you drop methylated spirit on it?
methylated spirit is in fact methanol added to ethanol (usually 10% methanol is used). The liquid evaporates which means that the liquid converts to a gaseous state. This process requires energy which it extracts from your body in the form of heat. This same process cools you down when you sweat. The reason that spirits feel colder than say room temperature water is that the boiling point of alcohol is much lower than water(about 78 degrees C for ethanol and 100 degrees C for water). This means that at room temperature the partial pressure of ethanol is higher which means more of it is evaporating from your skin than water, requiring more energy(which makes your hand feel cold).
