my estimation: cold weather causes vasoconstriction. your heart will hvae
to pump harder to make it through all those narrow capillaries, thereby
increasing BP. OR, in order to generate more body heat, vasodilation occurs,
and the heart has to pump more blood throughout the body to keep warm and
wamr up the blood that has cooled from being near the surface of the skin.
just a thought
