    Scarfs and clothing in general are thought of as warmth-bringing but they only reflect our own heat back at us - they’re insulating. In Frosty’s case the scarf would insulate him from rising external temperatures and keep him cold longer.

    Webcomic DEBUNKED. NOT SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE!

      He’s asking for a hair dryer, so wouldn’t the scarf hold some of the warm air that bounces off his melting ice flesh as he uses the dryer?

        If anything the scarf would block that heat in the first place. Think keeping your water bottle under a coat in a hot car to keep it cool

          I used to keep a white towel over the 24 packs of water I kept in my back seat, that really does work. 100°F outside, water is still a crisp 72°

            I had an old, ratty denim Dickies coat with thick insulation that probably weighed six or seven pounds. I’d throw it over a few water bottles on the floor or the seat, and they’d still be cool when the ones exposed in the backseat were warm, almost hot. Seriously, I had better luck with that coat than I had with coolers without ice.

      Wow, way to ruin christmas John… Everybody knows Frosty has problems keeping cold. Don’t judge him for his choices.
