Steel in January is a genuinely unpleasant surprise

Question

First proper cold week here and I have discovered something nobody warned me about. Getting dressed in a cold bedroom at seven in the morning is now an event.

It is not painful and it is not dangerous, it is just a shock every single time, and it stays cold for a good ten minutes after everything else has warmed up. Same story stepping outside.

Is this simply what a metal device in winter is, or do people do something sensible I have not thought of?

Steel takes the temperature of whatever is nearest it and holds it for a while, which is lovely in July and awful in January. The fix is boring. More layers between it and the outside air, and do not stand about outdoors in a thin coat waiting for a bus.
