Rivers in Punjab start from icy cold Himalayas to balmy temperatures during summer. Ground water temperature is probably steady in the teens degrees Celsius. So cold water is a relative term say compared to Canadian winter or mountainous winters in the North.
Here the rivers of Punjab and how all the waters flow and drain,  Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=38925
So shivering cold water is not as common for bathing in Punjab as one may think. Even though the softie city dwellers use Geysers and such to get warmer water for baths it was relatively uncommon in villages. Tubewells, wells and rivers/canals used to be fresh during summer and a reprieve from heat. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=38925
Just some tid-bits.

I was actually wondering if the description of "cold" would be different where I live compared to the Punjab. And even then the water gets warm here in the summer also so I wonder if cold might be less about temperature and more about jumping into it to experience the "wake up call" and sense of being cleansed within and without by it.

Water of any temperature can't cleanse you 'within' - only Naam can do that. |

That's why the amrit vela, get up and cleanse also means to do simran in order to cleanse the mind- within. | | The following member appreciates Luckysingh Ji for the above message. | |
