    The hand that was in the warm water is raised in temperature, which makes the water not feel warm. The hand that was in the cold was was lowered in temperature, so when placed in the warm water, there is a difference in temperature.

    Sounds good to me.

    Your hands don't feel temperature, but the difference in temperature.
